✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
Dear Kush, Hurray! I am super excited to hear about your visit.
Finally
, we're going to meet after two long years. I've made so many plans for both of us already and eagerly waiting for your arrival. I'm wondering if you can pick up a few things from my house and bring them with you. The
first
is the old laptop which has some essential documents related to the past work experiences I require for some official reason, and the other is a few Indian dresses I needed to wear at my friends' wedding functions in September. I hope the above is manageable for you and won't be a problem. In the meantime, do send me the details of your arrival time because I personally want to come and pick you up from the airport, and
then
we will directly head towards a club, where I have already planned a welcome party for you. I can't wait to meet you. Bye and take care! All the best, Komal
