SUBJECT: THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIFT
I found what you left me on my desk this morning and I just have to say, thank you for giving me
the best birthday present I could ever want.
As soon as I made it to work this morning, everyone was congratulating me on my birthday.
When I made it to my office, Janice, my secretary, told me you had left me a surprise on my
desk. To be honest I quickly assumed it was one of your old pranks, how silly of me. As I
entered my office I noticed a big red box with a blue ribbon wrapped around it sitting on the left
side of my desk. I walked up to it and as I got closer I heard something moving within the box. I
was afraid to open the box; I didn’t know what would jump out of it. I shoved my fears aside
and opened the box; to my surprise, I came in sight of a beautiful little Honey Badger. I
couldn’t believe it at first, was this a real Honey Badger? After the realization of actually
owning a Honey Badger, I burst into laughter. I was so happy to finally have my one favorite
animal. I remember when I first met you; the Honey Badger was the first thing I talked to you
about. I told you how much I loved its fearlessness and spunk. It does my heart well to know
that you still remember, and therefore, cherish our friendship.
In brief, I just want to thank you for all those years of true friendship you have given me and
now with this amazing gift I don’t know how I could ever thank you enough. You are a true
friend and I hope we will have many more years like these past ones we’ve shared. All in all,
thank you for the Honey Badger.
