Dear Henry,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous help when I was preparing for the speech concerning cultural exchange between China and America, which turned out to be an amazing success.
Whenever I think of the speech and what you have done for me, my appreciation is beyond description. It is so nice of you to have offered me effective presentation skills. Under your professional guidance, I overcame the fear of speaking in public and gained tremendous confidence. Besides, I feel more than thankful that you went all out to help me learn more about American culture, without which I wouldn’t have delivered such an impressive speech. Most importantly, your help has fueled my passion for English learning and I will cherish it forever.
Many thanks again for your patient guidance and selfless support. May you be blessed in everything you do.
Yours,
Li Hua
