Dear Mrs. Mary French: I am writing this letter to thank you for the wonderful dictionary you send me.

Dear Ms. Hughey, Thank you so much for sending my class the dictionaries. I really appreciate it. They really come in handy, it is better to have it right there in my desk than having to get up from my seat every time I need a dictionary.

Dear Hawaii Rotarians, In October, my third-grade granddaughter came home from school saying excitedly, "Mom! Guess what? My classmates and I each got a neat dictionary today!"

Dear Mr. Small, This is a rather belated thank-you for the class set of dictionaries. It was an incredible gesture, very generous and helpful.

Mr. Bert Winton: Thank you so much for your generous donation of dictionaries to our Third Grade students. It was a perfect gift for them because they are just now learning to become proficient with resource books.
