Hi John, I hope you and your family are doing well. I am writing
this
email to express my gratitude for your warm welcome at your house in Melbourne. Frankly speaking, I did not book any hotel room at all when travelling to Melbourne to attend my training course. Thanks to you, I had a great place to stay for a whole week. It was an unforgettable experience for me when your wife cooked a lot of tasty dishes. I did really enjoy it and felt like I was staying at home. Your daughter even sang a song to welcome me as well. It was
such
a lovely moment I have ever had in my life. Your son
also
gave me his favourite pillow to comfort my sleep. I was so grateful, and I really appreciated that. Your warmest welcome and your hospitality made me really want to visit you again in the near future. I missed you and every member of your family so much, and I hope I will have another training course so that we can catch up again. If you have any opportunities to visit Sydney, please let me know right away. Thank you for everything. If you need any help, please contact me at any time by dialling my phone number. Yours faithfully, David
