Subject: A Little Token of Huge Appreciation 
 
Dear Amazing Students (and future masters of the English universe),
 
Guess what? I’m hitting the big 500... lessons that is, not years! (though with all the wisdom you've imparted on me, who's counting?)!  To celebrate this not-so-minor milestone, I will be sending you a token of my appreciation in an individual thank you email. (No, not homemade chocolate, but if I could, I would, because honestly, it feels like I fall in love with you every day!) A coupon. Why? Simply because I couldn't have climbed this mountain of lessons without you. And because, unlike socks at Christmas, a coupon is something you'll actually use.
 
Now, let me tell you the truth. Teaching you all has been so outrageously fun that I sometimes have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. Every day I wake up and think, getting paid for having this much fun should be illegal, right? But let’s keep that our little secret. The authorities haven’t caught on yet.
 
Thank you for making my English journey feel less like scaling Everest and more like a walk in a very English park. You know, with less rain and more sunshine. Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and occasional mischief have turned what could have been mundane into something extraordinary.
 
As we stand at the 500-lesson mark, peering into the future, I’m buzzing with excitement for the next 500 lessons. If they’re anything like the first, I might need to take vitamins to keep up!
 
So, here’s to you, my faithful students, to English, and to many more lessons filled with laughter, learning, and perhaps a bit of lunacy. Because, why not?
 
Kind regards from your servant,
 
Manning
 
P.S. Use the coupon. Seriously, it’s not just a fancy bookmark.
