Your friend just had a baby. You decided to prepare a present for them. Write a letter and say : 1. Congratulate your friend 2. Ask when would be possible for you to visit 3. Ask what present they would like.

Dear Penelope, Many congratulations. I'm extremely elated to know that you have given birth to a baby boy. I hope your kiddo is doing fine and you are recovering well from the C-section. Anyway, I wanted to surprise you and your infant with a gift, but later, I thought I would ask what would be useful because I want to give you something that you can remember for a long time.
Also
, I will be visiting your town next week and planning to stay there for a couple of days at the Royal Hotel. So, I would really like to meet you and your little munchkin. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know when can i meet both of you. Anyway, I was thinking of gifting you a baby crib or a dining table and chair set which might be useful.
However
, please let me know if you would like me to buy something else and I would be more than happy to purchase it because I want you to use them and not end up in the storage room. looking forward to your reply. warm regards, Maya
