Dear Altamsh, I hope
this
 email finds you in good health. In your
last
 email, you asked about a new sporting activity that would be most suitable for you to learn. I personally believe that you are made for basketball. Looking at your height and athletic physique, you seem to be perfect for it. Now, basketball is more than just a game. Sure, you can go to our neighbourhood’s court and start with learning some dribbling and hoops, but the main essence of the game is to learn team coordination. It is a five-man sport and the best way to practice it is with some friends. I recommend that we both start learning together. I have somewhat experience with the sport, and I was myself looking for an activity to do lately. Some of the kids go to the court daily around 5PM in the evening. I believe it is a perfect time for us to check it out and have real-time experience
while
also
 learning the basics
such
 as teamwork. With me being there, we would both find it a fun and healthy activity to perform. I will be looking forward to hearing back from you in
this
 matter. Warm regards, Faraz
