Dear Mark, It has been a long time since being out of touch with you. I hope you are well. I write
this
letter in regards to the
story
that you asked me very before about a news item in my country. Luckily, I recently read an impressive article about an attractive place in our country where many legends originated. The place is Tibet, and the adventure
story
is about the exploration of Tibet. I am sure you must have heard of
this
mysterious place many times.
However
, I am
also
certain that you don't know it very well.
This
story
tells the experience of the
first
man who climbs the Moutain Everest, the highest peak on the earth.
Therefore
, I can confidently say you will enjoy the adventure experience very much.
Also
, do you know that I was born in Tibet? I think you must be surprised by
this
fact. I choose
this
story
because I want to introduce my hometown to you. I really hope you will enjoy it. Best Regards, Douglas
