In your letter *thank them for the holidays and the photos *explain why you did not write earlier *Invite them to come and stay with you
Dear Janice and Tom,
How are you? I hope
this
letter finds you well. Although
it has been a long time since we met last
, it feels like a short time.
Thank you so much for not only a memorable holiday but also
the photos that you sent me; those were captured nicely. Staying with you guys and seeing where you live was an amazing experience for my whole life. Apart from that, I should definitely say this
: I really admire your hospitality
Sorry, it has taken me so long to write back and thank you. Because once we arrived here, my mother became sick. Since that moment, we have been running and caring for her. That was a hectic time for us. But now she is getting well, and hopefully, she will recover soon.
However
, I’m writing this
letter not only to thank you but also
to invite you both to Sri Lanka for your next vacation. Then
I would take you to visit breathtaking places throughout Sri Lanka. Besides
that, you can savour delicious traditional foods here, and I'm sure you guys will love them.
So, let me know about your idea. I would really love to see you here and please give my regards to Tom. Take care!
Ever loving,
