Dear Priyanka, I am so happy that you are coming to Newyork
next
 week. I hope your family and girlfriend are doing great. I actually need a favour from you as you are travelling from my
place
, you need to bring some items from my parent's house.
Firstly
, as you are aware that the
place
 where I live is freezing cold so I often get cold and headaches due to
this
 climate.
Moreover
, we should visit the hospital every time when we get sick and cannot purchase medicines directly from the pharmacy.
Therefore
, I need you to bring some of the tablets from my
place
 in order to avoid visiting the hospitals all the time when I get ill.
Secondly
, I need some snacks prepared by my mom as it tastes yummy and won't get those items anywhere in the world. Once you land in Newyork, we can either meet at the central part station near the airport around 2:00 PM if it is convenient for you or can come over to your
place
 in the evening to collect the items. I hope you have a safe journey and meet you soon here. With best wishes, Venkatesh Ravichandran
