all of you for capturing memorable moments and for making a pleasant stay during the holidays. After returning from the trip, I, as usual, got busy with my office workload and daily routine activities. A couple of times, I thought about writing a letter to all of you. But, I got engaged in a new assignment allocated to me by the management of our company. I hope you will understand my position.

this
year. A large international movie carnival is organized in December. I assume that all of you will make

trip possible and please don’t worry about your stay as you all are going to accommodate at my house with me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. In case of any new development, kindly keep me posted. Yours faithfully Amritpal
