boxes

How do I draw a text box with shadow borders in LaTex?
I have tried the following but it has errors:

\fbox{
\begin{minipage}[c]{5in}
   \shadowbox{\large\bf text write here}
\end{minipage}
}

The main question is: How should the box look like? The box can be drawn with unlimited variations using tikz, mdframed, tcolorbox, etc.

Here are some suggestions with tcolorbox:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[skins]{tcolorbox}
\begin{document}

\tcbox[enhanced,size=fbox,fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop shadow southwest,
    sharp corners]{(A) text write here}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,width=5in,center upper,size=fbox,
    fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop shadow southwest,sharp corners]
(B) text write here
\end{tcolorbox}

\tcbox[enhanced,fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop shadow southwest,
    sharp corners]{(C) text write here}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,width=5in,center upper,
    fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop shadow southwest,sharp corners]
(D) text write here
\end{tcolorbox}

\tcbox[enhanced,fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop fuzzy shadow southwest,
    colframe=red!50!black,colback=yellow!10]{(E) text write here}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,width=5in,center upper,
    fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop fuzzy shadow southwest,
    colframe=red!50!black,colback=yellow!10]
(F) text write here
\end{tcolorbox}

\tcbox[enhanced,fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop fuzzy shadow southwest,
    boxrule=0.4pt,sharp corners,colframe=yellow!80!black,
    colback=yellow!10]{(G) text write here}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,width=5in,center upper,
    fontupper=\large\bfseries,drop fuzzy shadow southwest,
    boxrule=0.4pt,sharp corners,colframe=yellow!80!black,colback=yellow!10]
(H) text write here
\end{tcolorbox}

\end{document}
