45, Green Park New Delhi 10 June 2023

Dear Grandparents,

I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and happiness. It has been a while since we met, and I often miss our evening conversations. I have been keeping quite busy with my studies and music practice, but I always look forward to your blessings.

I am writing to share some wonderful news with you. My school is organising a musical evening on 21 June, which is celebrated globally as World Music Day. The event will commence at 5:00 PM in the main school auditorium.

The most exciting part is that I will be presenting a Sitar recital at the event! I have been practising diligently for weeks, and I really want you both to be there. Your presence would mean a lot to me and boost my confidence.

I earnestly request you to attend the event and watch my performance. Please do come and bless me with your presence. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours affectionately, Aman
