Sample thank you letter to your friend for hospitality

Dear (Name),

How can I thank you for the few happy days spent in your garden-house? The picture of Meena dancing at dawn under the tree in front of my room every morning is quite indelibly etched on my mind.

And what dosas I enjoyed? What heavenly coffee? What paradise coca?

My stay in your house is something never to be forgotten.

Yours affectionately

Dear (Name),

I regret that your stay in our house was rather short, and I was too busy to be of much use to you. I am grateful to my men for what little service they were able to render you.

Yours affectionately
