You are planning a holiday in another country and would like a friend to accompany you. Write a letter to the friend asking him/her to join you and explain: - Why are you taking a holiday? - What is your holiday plan? - Why would you like him/her to go with you?

Dear Mike, I hope

this

letter finds you well. I'm writing to invite you to accompany me on my upcoming holidays. I'm extremely tired of my work, and I really want to take my mind off our new project. If I'm not mistaken, I told you that we started working with Tencent

last

year. We are trying to create an amazing new dating app for the Chinese market. We haven't seen each other for ages, and I want to catch

this

opportunity. The

last

time we did something together was at college. Do you remember how we were making fun of Prof. Smith's yellow pants? It was cool. I think we can visit Madrid next month. I heard they had almost finished that famous cathedral, whose name I always forget. Plus, your favourite football team, Real Madrid, is playing with Barcelona on the 22nd of October. I remember how we enjoyed their battles when we were younger. Well, what do you think? I am looking for your decision, man. Call me. Hope to see you soon, Adam
