Dear Som

How are you doing? I hope you are doing better now. I was quite taken aback when I got to know you had been diagnosed with malaria. You have always been healthy, after all.
I am writing this letter to keep you up to date with what is happening in the school. Yesterday, our school organized an award ceremony to award the toppers. I know that since you are one, you would love to know all the details.
The ceremony began with a speech by the Principal, which was then followed by a skit - discussion between the Head Boy and the Head Girl regarding the importance of academics and the balance of academics and co-curricular / sports.
After this enlightening skit which motivated me to work harder to study, the awards were given by the Principal. Your sister, Rina, received the reward in your name. You got a trophy! There were three toppers for our batch. Everyone was quite satisfied with the ceremony. If you were here, you would have been, too.

The Vice - Head Girl then delivered the vote of thanks and the assembly was adjourned.
Do keep me updated about your health, Som. Everyone at school misses you.

Yours,
Sachin
