Dear Jay, I'm fine, and I hope you are doing good too. I feel delighted to share a piece of good news that I won a prize bond, which I had bought a few months ago. As you know, I had purchased some prize bond from my pocket money.
Although
I was not sure at the time of purchase, I will really win it. But, when I received a call from a bank representative that I had won the prize of amount one million dollars, my joy knew no bounds, and I thanked God for His mercy upon me. What is more important, because it is a huge amount, it should be spent wisely. So I’m planning that I'll divide
this
money into chunks, and donate a handsome amount for charity to an organization which is located. I'll
also
pay my university fees for the remaining semesters. I’d like to invite you
this
weekend to be a part of my happiness. I’m planning to throw a party at a five-star restaurant to celebrate
this
great news. If you are not available
this
weekend, I will shift
this
event to the
next
date for your convenience. Let me know about your plans at the earliest. Best regard, Saira Bano
