WRITING A COVER LETTER

Life shows different shades at different stages. Some moments become a memory for a lifetime and some makes us feel left out in the journey of life.

Reeves 3776 Valley Lane Austin, TX 78701 September 16,2010 Dear aunty, I am sorry to hear about Uncle Paul. Although he has been keeping unwell and age was also a factor for his slow recovery from his illness. However, losing a loved one at any stage of our life leaves us in the state of shock. I was so unfortunate for not being able to be at his side at his end time as I was out of country with some business work. I still remember he was so joyful at heart that no one could ever figure that was going through such hard times. His helping and cheerful nature used to make him the talk of the town. I understand that life has been harsh on you and it’s difficult to come out of such a grief....
