Dear _________,
After so much intense preparation for my bat mitzvah, I was excited that my special day had finally arrived, and that you were there to celebrate with me. It’s a long drive from Las Vegas to San Francisco, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your making the trip. And your gift of a Kindle was so incredibly generous. You know how much I love reading! I have already downloaded several books. It’s like having a library wherever I go. Thanks a million.
