Dear Grandmother,

Hoping you are in good health! First of all, I apologize for not visiting you last month as my final exams were going on and I was busy preparing for them. You will be glad to know that I scored 92% and positioned in top five students of my batch. Moreover, school will be awarding me an excellence award on annual function.

Owing to such hectic schedule I deeply regret for not even calling you often during last few days. I am eagerly waiting for the school break so that I could plan a visit home and make a lot of memories with you and cousins. Additionally, I am planning for a small picnic to nearest hill station with whole family.

So, I will be visiting home by the end of next week. We all will do fun and make memories as these are the things which we keep along when we are away from them. See you soon!

Lots of love,

Charles
