Sample of Thank You Letter for Present from Child to Relative
Dear Aunt Ellen,
Thank you very much for my Christmas presents. I know that the scarf and hat will keep me very warm this winter when I play at the park and in the back garden. I also know that my friends and I will enjoy watching the DVDs that you brought me when it is too cold to play outside. I have not seen most of these DVDs before so I am very excited to watch them, and the ones that I have seen I already know that I like and will watch over and over again. Maybe one day you will be able to come over and watch them with me. I would like that very much.
Thank you again for all of my lovely presents.
Love,
Katherine

Dear uncle Martin,
Thank you for your Christmas present. I know that Santa can not bring the playstation to me because is too fat, we haven't a chimney and the door was locked. However, I really enjoyed the present though my mom didn't leave me so much to play at it. I am playing every time I am free. My friends have came to me to play fifa and world of warcraft. I hope you'll come too, when you are not busy.
Thank you again for your present.
P.S.:I know Santa Claus doesn't exist, but don't tell my parents because that makes them happier.
Love,
Gelu

Dear Christine,
I’m writing this letter to thank you for your lovely present that you gave me for my birthday.I didn’t expected from you to give me a cute little puppy.Thank you from all my heart for this gift.When I’m going with him in the park a lot of people are saying ’Oh,that puppy it’s the most cuttest dog I ever seen’.I must say that a lot of girls were crazy about him.
Although,I named him Spark.That dog it’s cute but..he is doing his dirty jobs on my living room.However,I have seen that he loves cats.I didn’t expected that from a dog.The dogs usually hate cats but this one is loving them.Surprising!
In conclusion,this dog it’s very talented:he can swim,he can bark,he can sleep,he can poop on my crazy neighbour’s backyard(that’s a talent for me).
See you soon,
Vlad P.
P.S:The dog is still poops in my neighbour’s backyard.That’s like a comedy movie.

Dear Aunt Linda,
ALTHOUGH my birthday was two weeks ago, I am writing to you right now because I want to say „Thank you!” for the wonderful present you gave me.
So, thank you for the best present that I have goten: a ticket at Hannah Montana’s concert. My mom came with me, HOWEVER I enjoyed it. It was the gourgeous gift you could give me BUT better than this will be if you will come with me at the next concert you offer me.
Because I heard that is better to give than to get. So, the more presents you offer the best aunt you will be. I love you so much!
Thank you again for being such a good aunt. THOUGH I love you like my best friend.
Lots of love,
Cora
PS:I really don’t like Hannah Montana, so don’t take it seriously. Cora:)

Dear Bubu,
I am writting to thank for your great party. I was very happily when you invited me in that wonderful country, England, last week.
Your party was the best of my opinion. It was cool, although your cake was not exactly what I preffered at that moment. However, the moments were full of games but I liked so much "Pin the donkey tail". The all was very funny, although Johnny was not so interested by game.
In conclusion, the another parties will be boring after your's. Nothing will be better than the moments offered by you. I hope to see you again at my party, but I want, in the same time, to invite you in Romania, next February.
However, I am wishing to transmit you my lovely and sincerely feelings.
With love, Bogdan S.
