"Dear Mrs Bland, First a belated but very grateful 'Thank you' for my Christmas box of chocolates. It was a lovely surprise and much appreciated but you really shouldn't have done it!

"Dear Mrs. Bland, Thank you for your kind letter of July 9th giving directions to your home and suggesting I call on Tuesday, July 24th. My apologies for this very delayed reply. The end of the academic year in a primary school is extremely chaotic and the past few weeks have been exceptionally busy ones with my mother retiring after 42 years as an infant teacher.
