Dear Grandma,

       I am a part of my school band and am rehearsing to play at the school’s Christmas concert this year. I hope that you will come home for Christmas. We will have great fun and also don’t forget your yummy Christmas cake!
        I hope you get well soon!

Add a comma after the closing.
Love,

Sarah

The body includes a set of paragraph text.
       My name is Peggy Alexander, and I am the secretary at Acres Brown Elementary School. We came to know about your company through our partners Ben and Jill Hemings.
       Our school requires some used supplies, which could be used in classrooms as helpful materials for teaching our students. We primarily need some audio-visual equipment such as a projector, computer, and whiteboards.
        We request you if you could provide our school with the above. I can provide you with transportation and can personally come to pick up the items. Please let me know if you may have any questions at my phone number (234) 165-7243.

Thank You,

Peggy
