Dear Mary，
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your help when I was in difficulty. You have been very kind and helpful since we knew each other.
Last week， I caught a bad cold and had to stay at home for a week. When I was worrying about the lessons， you came to my home after school and helped me with every subject. With your help， I didn’t fall behind others.
Again， thanks so much for your enthusiastic help. Even though you are to about to go abroad for further education I know that I will always stay in touch with you. I wish you every success in the future and I hope we can exchange more viewpoints on study.

参考范文3（沪江版）
A Letter to My Friend
Dear Alice,
I am writing this letter in the purpose of showing my sincere gratitude for all the support you have given me when I can"t adapt myself very well to the college life.
Since I can totally enjoy my new life in the campus now, I can"t wait to show you how much I appreciate your help and share my feelings with you. As for me, it is the first time that I have been apart with my loving parents and come to a thoroughly strange place. Facing everything new here, I find it hard to focus on my study and make friends. It is you who see through my weakness and stand by me in the darkest days. With your company and encouragement, I can face my college life with a positive mind.
After all we have been through, I hope our friendship would go further and further. Just remember that I would be there for you if you need any help.
