Answer (Band 9):
Dear Priya,
I was absolutely delighted to hear the wonderful news about your scholarship to study in Australia—congratulations! This achievement is truly well deserved, and I could not be happier for you.
Earning such a prestigious scholarship is no easy task. It not only recognises your academic excellence but also highlights your dedication and resilience. Studying abroad will give you the chance to experience world-class education while also broadening your cultural horizons. I have no doubt that this will shape your career in remarkable ways.
To celebrate this incredible milestone, why don’t we organise a small get-together with our close friends before you leave? It would be the perfect opportunity to wish you well and send you off with lots of love and encouragement.
Once again, congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment. I am truly proud of you and excited to see all that you will achieve in the future.
Warm regards,
Amit
