参考范文:
Dear Alex,
Learning that you’re leaving for your country soon, I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to you for your consistent help.
It was your generous help that enabled me to learn English well. Initially, I still remember what you have devoted to improving my oral and written English whenever I encountered difficulties. More importantly, without your professional guidance, I would not have made such unbelievable progress in English and would not have even ranked first in a recent English speech contest. Ultimately, it was you that always cheered me up, so that I could regain my confidence and enthusiasm to English study.
In a word, nothing could ever return the favor you gave me. Therefore, please accept my most cordial thanks for you and wish you a pleasant journey home.
Yours,
Li Hua
