The following letter was sent by our English teacher Sayama Daw May San Yee who taught us ‘Grammar and Syntax’ and ‘Semantics’ when we were MA students at the University of Yangon. I copied this letter and delivered the students of our office.

Dear all my colonels,

I got your letter just now and I was very surprised to see your Season’s greeting card with all your names. I can’t express how happy I was and how proud of you all I was, as I don’t have anyone from Pyinmana or Nay-Pyi-Daw, sending such cards. A Very Happy New Year to YOU all!

How are you getting on with your work? I hope you all are fine. As for me, as you all know, all my time is occupied with my work. I’m very busy with my classes as well as office work. Here, I’m taking English specialization classes, one MA II class, one for Third year and First Year Honours students and one for First year students. So, I am always in my class, educating them what I have learnt and known.

Thank you for your card, and your rememberance. This makes me sure that you all still remember me though I always scolded you. I don’t think I have such students who will remember me after they get their degrees. I know that I am not very nice to any student though I love them. I never speak and act smartly. Anyway, I’m very proud of you all and I’d like to send a message: “Prove your work in terms of work”.

Thanks again. Please send my love and rememberance to all your friends.

With love,

MAY SAN YEE
