Children's Letter

Hi, I live in the U.K. but still struggling English expression.

I'm trying to wirte a 'Thank you letter' on behalf of my 5year old son.

Can someone help changing my business-like English to sweet children's English ?

Thanks !!!

How lovely of you sending me a lovely Christmas present. I was so pleased

with it as well as your thoughtfulness !




Regrettably, I've been too busy to play with the toys lately.

On weekend, I normally go out and enjoy a theatre play.


So, if you are kindly sending me a present in future, could I request you a

theatre tokens instead of toys, please ?




Thank you again.

Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, what you're saying is true....

I do really appreciate those who send him a presents ,but my son is not really interested in them, and most of the toys just end up in a charity shop. This has been going on for a last couple of years and I don't want see this will be going on for more years..... What he really wants is a shopping voucher which al

Well, this is an English forum and not an ettiquette one, but I would be offended if I got that letter. I agree with Nona - just have him draw a picture and write his name, and I'm sure he can write the words "Thank you."

Then YOU can include a note with his picture saying something like "It's very considerate of you to remember [your son's name] and we appreciate your thoughtfulness, bu

I do appreciate your advice & opinion.

It seems be very offensive to send this kind of letter to people in Western culture, so I'll go ahead just sending a letter with my son't picture & the word ' Thank you' as suggested.

Yes, this is an English forum and not an ettiquette one, but I often face the case that can not be resolved by just "language translation"....... Sould
