Dear Arun,

I received your letter. After reading it I realized that you have taken your failure in the mid-term examinations to heart. I urge you not to think of yourself as a failure. Please do not think that your mother and I are disappointed in you.

We had received your class teacher's letter informing us that you had been seriously ill. We are therefore anxious about your health.

We are sure that you did your best in the exams. In fact, your term result is proof of your struggle to pass the exams. You have nearly made it in most of the subjects.

Since these exams are only the term exams we hope that you will make up for these lost marks in your next term exams. Do not lose heart and work hard.

Take care of your health. With love from both of us, 

Your's loving father, 

XYZ.
