It comes across to me that you come from a “hierarchy” culture where one would formally address an elder with respect. Here it is your uncle, whom I assume is an older gentleman, probably your parents’ older relative, living in a rural area with limited or no modern means of communication near by where he lives. Writing would be the next best thing. I would be happy to get a letter in the mail from my near and dear one who lives in another country.
I would start by saying,
Respected Uncle or Dearest Uncle….,
I hope you are doing well.
It has been a long time since we have seen each other. I remember my childhood when mummy and papa would bring us sometimes on our holidays to spend time with you. It was one of my best holdisays, and I want to visit again with mummy and my family so they too can have an experience of rural sunny life in ……..
I have not been out of the country (name your country) for some time now as I was tied down with some personal work at home and also my job kept me busy.
Now that I am able to free up some time, I thought about coming to visit you for a few weeks.

Uncle, I am mailing this letter to you today and we are all eagerly waiting to hear back from you soon, so we can make necessary travel arrangements.
Your nephew,
The best type of characterization would be the indirect characterization of the emotions. The narrator talks about being sickened and describes how they feel about the circumstances that make them sick.
Hope this helps!
