Hello Frank,
Hope you’re doing well! It’s been five months since I left the company where we were working together and I moved to a new
city
– Amritsar. I’m quite excited to tell you about this
city
and my new job.
You would be surprised to know how famous and religious Amrtisar city
is. There are plenty of spaces to visit, especially the Golden Temple. This
temple has an eye-catching pond which attracts many tourists. Also
, a new shopping mall has recently opened which I usually visit on weekends for shopping. You know I am really into buying new clothes!
Because of the city
’s rich heritage buildings, I’ve found my passion for building conservation while
working on my new position in an architecture firm. I’ve been using all the technical skills that I learned from you at our previous workplace. Not only I’m drafting building drawings but also
getting a lot of chances to do site visits.
Even though Amritsar is a little far from your hometown, I would like to invite you to visit me here. I bet you’ll not get bored for a moment because of a lot of street food options available in this
city
. So, what’s your thought on this
?
Warm wishes,
