Dear Madam:

Would you please convey my sincere though belated thanks to the members of your organization for your Christmas Card and gift.

I had been stationed at the west coast just prior to Christmas and am still receiving my Christmas mail at this date.

Thanking you once again,
I am,
Yours truly,
