You have recently purchased a gift item for one of your friends. Write a letter to this friend. In your letter, tell him/her about the gift tell how you want to sent the gift to this friend explain why you chose this gift for your friend

Dear Niro, Hope you are in good health and spirit. I felt very happy to receive your letter
last
week. Anyway, you will be glad to know that I have bought a nice gift, actually, a wristwatch for you when I went to visit Switzerland about a couple of weeks ago. I know how you have always loved to wear a wristwatch, especially one from Europe.
Hence
I bought you one, which is gorgeous and classy in my view. Packed in a beautiful platinum case,
this
watch has a shiny, dark silver coloured strap.
Besides
, its crystal perfectly matches its hour markers inside which illuminate nicely in the dark. It is manufactured by "Tissot", a renowned watch brand in Switzerland. I chose
this
gift because not only will it look good on you, but
also
because the finish won't fade quickly due to excessive sweating, especially, when I know how profusely you sweat during the summer. I
also
thought it would be a good gift from my tour for you. Mailing it through a courier service would be the best bet in my opinion as it will be delivered to you speedily - in the
next
couple of days. Please let me know whether I should courier it to your home or office address. Take care and stay fine. Warm wishes, Martin Craig
