Dear Rohit, I hope you are doing well. I am writing
this
letter to share some good news with you. I am coming to your town next month for the 15-day training course. As you know, I have been working in the ASI company for the
last
5 years and they are sending me for
further
training in Quebec.
This
opportunity increased my excitement because we never saw each other after finishing college.
Also
, my birthday is going on in my course so, we will enjoy ourselves together. I saw many videos of the area where you are living is so beautiful and attractive. Could you tell me about the current weather conditions which will be easier for packing the clothes?
Last
year one of our friends, Sumit shared her experience of a seaside town and told me there is a huge historical museum and some other local attractions. I am coming on 3rd, September and staying in The Taj Hotel because all the budgets are covered by my company. Let me know when you are free so, we meet
last
days before going back. I cannot express my happiness to see you. I hope to hear a positive response from your side. Can't wait to see you. Yours lovingly, Akash
