Dear Sister,
It is really a long time that I received a letter from you, and I am very happy to write to you on this occasion. How are you and the family at large? My regards to everyone.
The last time we discussed, you advised that I further my studies to a postgraduate level in engineering and I promised I was not going to disappoint you. Not long after we spoke, I applied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and I was offered admission due to my solid first degree academic records. Despite the enormous challenges that accompanied my stay in MIT, i graduated with a distinction in aerospace engineering, the best in the department.
Last year, I enrolled for a Phd programme in the same university and I have been engaging in a lot of researches on aerospace. All things being equal, I have two more years to complete this programme and begin my career as an academic. I am very grateful for the continual love I receive from you as a sibling, it is overwhelming. I await a reply from you, bye for now.

Answer:
The apostrophe has three uses: 1) to form possessive nouns; 2) to show the omission of letters; and 3) to indicate plurals of letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use apostrophes to form possessive pronouns (i.e. his/her computer) or noun plurals that are not possessives.
Explanation:
Hope it helps you...
