Answer:
How will I write a letter to my aunt in another town asking her to grant me permission to spend the Christmas holidays with her?
If you are not in the habit of writing to your aunt—and it sounds like you probably aren’t—it might not be a good idea to write a letter out of the blue to ask for a big favor. I recommend that you phone her instead. That will give her a chance to discuss the issue in more detail with you.
For the phone call, start out with some pleasantries: “how are you,” “I’m sorry I haven’t called in a while,” things like that. But quickly get to the reason for the call. “I was thinking of visiting your town for the holidays. I wonder if I might stay at your house while I am there. Of course, I don’t want to put you to any trouble.”
Guess I can finally put to use my English lessons about writing informal letters with this question :)

Dear Aunt,
1st para- How are you doing? I’m doing fine. Hope you’re doing great as well. Then ask a few more questions and give replies as well- For example you could say- “How are my cousins doing? Hope they are doing well.”
2nd para- I’m writing this letter in order for you to grant permission for me to spend the Christmas holidays with you. Say why you want to spend the holidays with her.
3rd para- Say that you will truly appreciate being able to spend the holidays with her. End the paragraph with- I am eagerly awaiting your reply.
With love,
Your name
