BeneficiaryHello Madam, I hope you are well. I am doing well too.
I wanted to tell you that I am very honored to have received this award and certificate of excellence last night. This distinction is not only a source of pride for me but also a motivation to continue working with seriousness and perseverance.
Learning German has never been easy for me, but with patience and passion, progress eventually comes. At the beginning of the year, I was so motivated by the language, but due to delays at the university, I lost courage and practiced less. This award is therefore an encouragement to aim even higher.
However, I do not consider this prize as a personal reward alone, but also as the result of the support I received from my teachers, classmates, and family, whom I warmly thank as well. My wish is to continue deepening my knowledge, seize opportunities for improvement, and perhaps one day be like you.
Moreover, I have learned an important lesson: believe in myself, never give up. With hard work and perseverance, anyone can achieve their goals.
Finally, I want to thank you in particular for your gesture toward us, your younger brothers and sisters. May God reward you a hundredfold, and in general, all the donors for everything they do. May God continue to bless you abundantly.
Once again, thank you very much.
