Recently you had a holiday overseas and you stayed with a family member who has just sent you a letter and some photos of your holiday. Write a letter to your family member. In your letter: - thank him/her for the photos and for the holiday - explain why you didn’t send a letter earlier - invite your family member to come and stay with you
Dear Sandy,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am writing this
to express how grateful I am to you for the wonderful time we had last
month and for the pictures you sent to me.
I truly appreciate you sending me these photos, after all that has happened to my camera accident and the loss of all my gallery. In addition
, I am thankful to you for receiving me at your breathtaking house and overall
, for the incredible days I had with you.
The reason I did not reply to you sooner was that I had a big client project deadline to meet. There is also
the fact that I kept postponing writing this
because I wanted my mind to be fresh, so I could express myself more truthly.
Finally
, I would like to ask you to spend some time at my house with me. There's a local festival happening in the city at the end
of the month that I think you would enjoy visiting. Also
, I have just finished renovating the guest room and hopefully, the improvements I've made might make guests, like yourself, more comfortable.
Please let me know if you can come, so I can start making the arrangements for your stay.
Yours sincerely,
Amanda LagoSubmitted by amandacflago23 on
