While on a business trip in another city, you met an old friend who lives there. You are going on another business trip to this city soon and would like to see him/her again. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: - tell him/her about your trip; - say why you were happy to see him/her; - suggest an arrangement for you to meet.
Hello, dear Tom. I hope
this
letter finds you fine.
First of all, I want to express my joy at our last
meeting in your city last
month. It was amazing to remember the past, to join your friends, to see an old movie together.
Furthermore
, I'm planning my next business trip to your city in two weeks. So I'll be happy to see you more if you are free in the evenings. I have read in the magazine, that it will be a spectacular performance on the 15th of November, and if you want, we could go together.
Moreover
, it's a new small pretty pub not far from your apartment, where we can sit to drink and talk . Say honestly, I'll be happy to meet with you ever more than one time if you will have an opportunity.
I have your phone number, so we'll stay connected.
Look forward to seeing you, best regards.
