Dear Irene,
Enclosed is your book. I hope it gets to you quickly enough. Don’t worry about the extra postage; it’s no big deal. Thank you so much for lending it to me. I found it very informative. Of course, I am happy to return it to you. I might want to borrow it again from you sometime, but there is no need for you to send it back to me right away. I may even buy my own copy.
Thanks again,
Harold Williams
亲爱的爱琳:
随信附上你的书,希望你很快收到。不用操心额外的邮资,那是小钱。非常感谢你把书借给我,我觉得它提供了很多信息。我当然很乐意把它还给你。过一阵子我可能会再向你借,但你不需马上把它寄来给我。甚至我可能会自己去买一本。
再次谢谢你,
哈乐德‧威廉敬上
