I hope you will find
this
letter in good health. I am extremely happy to receive the photos you send me last
week. A big thank to
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. Correct pronoun usage

, I would like to make a request to all of you kindly visit my home city Goa in the month of December this
year. A large international movie carnival is organized in December. I assume that all of you will make this
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
