Dear John,
I know you will take part in an English speech contest next week. And I am writing this letter to give you some advice on how to make a wonderful speech.
First, please keep smiling. I think it can show your confidence and make a good impression on the listeners. Besides, when you're speaking, remember to make eye contact with your listeners. It's the key to a successful speech. However, don't stare at others because it's impolite. What's more, it's necessary to use some gestures. It will help you express yourself better on stage. Last but not least, don't forget to say "thank you” to your listeners at the end of the speech.
I am sure you can do a good job in the contest. I am looking forward to your success.(119w)
Yours.
MsLee
