Dear Allison,

In this corrected version, adjustments have been made to improve clarity, punctuation, and overall coherence. Commas were added after "sister" and "Michaela" to enhance readability and to separate essential information. The wording in sentence (1) was modified to convey a more direct expression of congratulations. Additionally, in sentence (4), the phrase "considering lending your expertise" was revised to "your consideration in sharing your expertise" for smoother and more formal communication. The letter maintains a polite and professional tone while ensuring that the intended message is conveyed accurately.
