Your friend wants to send her/his children to your house for the weekend. Write a letter to him/her and say – Agree to this arrangement. – Say what time is suitable for you. – Describe what you are planning to do.

Dear Sarah, I'm writing to let you know that I would be delighted to have your two
children
at my place during the weekend. It's been so long we didn't see each other. I have an appointment with the dentist at around 10 in the morning. So, you can come to drop them at 11. I shall be back home by that time. I am planning to bring the
children
to the zoo. They would be thrilled to see all the wild animals and will surely enjoy feeding them.
Also
, we would spend the afternoon at the seaside, swimming and having fun. I'm sure that the
children
would have a blast. We all can't wait to see the
children
on Saturday! See you soon. Best regards, John
