Dear Dilly,
I have really missed you, I hope you and your siblings are doing well? I am writing to discuss your forth-coming trip to my city.
I must confess, I am really excited about your planned visit to my country. I have been thinking about our
last
hangout in London when we went to the O2 Arena with my cousin. Since you informed me about your arrival next
month, I told my Dad about you coming over and he promised to give me the keys to the Banana Island duplex which would be a plus to all the plans I am making for you.
Surprisingly, your birthday falls on the fifth day of your arrival, I guess you have forgotten. I was thinking we could use one of the most prominent beach houses in Lagos for a weekend getaway party or we can have dinner/lunch at Koi Japanese restaurant on Victoria Island. Additionally
, we can also
go to the orphanage homes and give alms to the needy along the line.
Do you like any of the suggestions I made, I was thinking from my own perspective and I have no idea if you made plans already without informing me?
Thank you for being a great friend Dilly. I look forward to reading from you soon.
Yours affectionately,
Simeon.Submitted by simeonagbanoma on
