Dear Jim，

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. I am referring to that unfortunate accident the other day， when I was knocked off my bike by a taxi.

If it had not been for your timely assistance in giving me first aid， I fear that the Consequences might have been much more serious. Everynoe agrees that it was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome……
