Subject: Congratulations on Your Winning the Prize

Dear Isabella,

Congratulations! I couldn't be so happier to hear that you have got the first prize of Young Designers Competition this year. All of our friends are proud of you for your talent in and enthusiasm for the apparel design. Even though you have not received any professional training in this field, you made even greater achievement than those who have.

Now I understand that interest is the best teacher. All the efforts and time you spent on apparel design is worthwhile. You realized your value on it and also got happiness and satisfaction from it. Those are what really matters.

I hope you can insist on your original intention in the days to come. And I wish you would create better works. Congratulations again!

Faithfully yours,

Charlotte

句首的I hope you can...in the days to come．可以视为习惯用法，表示“我希望你今后可以……”。其中的I hope..．后可以接省略了引导词that的宾语从句，表示“我希望……”，相当于I wish...、I expect...、I anticipate...。句末的in the days to come可以视为固定用法，表示“今后，将来，在未来的日子里”。

★ 套用：
