Dear Quinn, I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am so glad to hear that the college has accepted you to study
further
in Paris. I was
initially
worried when I heard back from the college, and they did not respond to you. Now, I am so pleased that we can pursue our dream of going abroad to study especially together. I was thinking we could be roommates over there as we have been best friends since grade 5th, and we know each other's preferences well. We are
also
on the same course so it will not only be more convenient for our academics but
also
for our personal lives as well. Since childhood, we have always wanted to stay and study together, and
this
is the best opportunity to
fulfill

our dreams. We can help each other not only during our studies but
also
in household chores. In abroad, it can be hard to live alone so, I believe it is better if we can stay together and have fun with each other. Looking forward to catching up soon and until
then
, take care. Best Regards, Shelby.
