To begin, I would start by explaining the purpose of the instructions I am giving. This sets the context and helps the listener understand why they are learning to compose a thank-you letter. I would clarify that the goal of the instructions is to help them express gratitude effectively, whether for a gift, a favor, or support received, and to convey appreciation in a thoughtful manner. By outlining this purpose, I can engage the listener and prepare them for the specific steps that will follow in the composition process.
