Dear sir,

In l935 I got engaged, but unluckily I lost my job．At that time a lot of people were out of work．Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money．

I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring．The girl took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment．a(chǎn)nd I put one of the tings in my pocket．When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger．So I left the shop without buying a ring．

My wife died a short while ago and that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience all these years．At that time the ring cost $2.80 I think the ring may cost about $10 now, and I came sending you the money．

Yours truly

A customer

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit(習(xí)慣).
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Think you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.
