Dear Teacher,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for your support on my science project I really appreciate your willingness to help me even if it was out of your current position.
I have to admit that I was really confused at the beginning Since I was a newbie, I had not had any experience in doing projects, not to mention doing on my own Therefore your direction really helped to reduce my difficulty of doing it alone I was totally impressed by your knowledge and enthusiasm.
I realised how lucky I was to meet you I am really looking forward to having an opportunity to work with you as an assistant for your work.
Yours sincerely, Hoang Mai Anh
