Write a letter to your friend. 

In your letter, recommend a good place that you have visited before for a holiday; say where you went and where you stayed

say what you can do there and what the food was like

Dear Sonika, 

I’m overwhelmed by the news of you finally taking out some time to rejuvenate your moods. I’d advise you to visit Banff, Alberta: the mountainous place filled with calmness and scenic beauty. 

This place needs five days to explore the local area, and enjoy the amenities available in the Hotel. I visited this location a few months ago to experience the idyllic beauty of hill stations in Canada, and stayed in The Marriott Hotel. The notoriety this place enjoys, and expense at the hotel are worth it: the comfort and facilities like spa, gym areas, complimentary breakfast, and so on, are unmatched. Also, the management arranges the itinerary for you as per availability and engrosses you in one, or the other activities: hiking, jeep safari, and much more. 

Moreover, the most appealing thing is the availability of all types of cuisines: Indian, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. I’d suggest you try The Italian Restaurant: white sauce spaghetti, and garden pizza is lip-smacking.

I’m available in case you need any more information. 

Yours Lovingly 

Sarika

Dear Simran,

I’m excited to know that you are coming to Delhi next week: it’s been a long time since we spent some time together, but I must remind you that when you came the last time you took my red luggage bag. Since I currently need it, do bring it back with you. 

I’m planning a fifteen-day trip to Kashmir with my family next month, and the bag is quite comfortable and spacious, due to it having separate compartments for clothes, books and also electrical gadgets like laptops. This was the reason why my father chose it as a gift for me when I went to the hostel three years ago. As the upcoming trip will also need to complete some official assignments, I must carry files along, and this bag can handle all, and allow me to keep stuff separate from my family.   I hope you’ll understand and bring the bag with you. 

Excitedly waiting to meet you next Sunday, and share some gossip and food with you.

Yours lovingly

Freddie

Dear ......................, 

Dear Harleen,

I’m going to throw a party on my birthday, and you are invited for this. Recently, you suggested a restaurant you have visited, and I want some of this restaurant's menu, environment and most prominently pricing.

As you know my birthday is in the upcoming week, I’ve little time to arrange everything, and I want your help for all the arrangements, so the suggested venue would be most suitable: everything seems perfect since I know about your taste, but I’ve a very tight budget around INR 10,000, and want to arrange party for ten people including you, so please let me know it could be a perfect fit for me, or not.

I’m planning for a vegetarian food menu as most of my family members are vegetarian, and if you would like to recommend something else, feel free to share as I’m quite confused about the arrangements. 

Waiting for your suggestions, and don’t forget to be at the party.

· find out how important the book is to him / her

Dear Elie,

 

I hope this letter finds you in a healthy spirit. My heartfelt apologies for not returning the Graph Theory book that you lent me last semester. Recently I got to know that your younger brother is entering into university this year and I assume that he might need the book. Without causing any further inconvenience to you, I wish to return it.

 

This book helped me a lot in preparing my presentation on Graph colouring. After the presentation, I was occupied with exam preparation and completely forgot to hand it back. Now, when I got to know your brother has enrolled in the University, I thought that it will be useful to him. Do let me know if I need to send it on an urgent basis, or should I make arrangements this weekend.  Also share your present address.

Once again apologies for not returning it on time. I will definitely make it up to you at our next meeting. See you soon.

 

Much love,

Disha

Dear Rachel,

I would like to thank you in advance for sparing time to take care of my home when I am away for my holidays from 5th - 9th July. Before leaving I’ll try my best to arrange everything here to make you feel home and comfortable.

 

I had requested the airlines to provide me with next flight tickets so that I can meet you before heading for the trip, but there were no tickets available. You can collect the home keys from my neighbor Mrs. Lee. She is very kind and humble, you'll definitely enjoy visiting her. While I’m away I request you to water my plants everyday and also feed the dog. His diet chart is pinned on the table placed near the main door. Also, once you reach, make sure you switch on the water purifier. For any emergencies or confusions do call me. I can’t thank you enough for helping me.

I promise to get you a nice exotic present. Can’t wait to meet you on 10th July.

 

Much love,

Disha

You read a newspaper article that captured your attention. Write letter to your friend and recommended reading the article. Include the following in your letter:

– Where and when the article was published

– What the article was about

– Why it is important that your friend reads it.

 

Dear Joe, 

I stumbled across an exhaustively-researched  article on a wild safari website last week, 15 May, that mentioned the opening of safaris for wildlife photographers and precautions that were to be taken by professionals in the Etosha Pan during the prevailing pandemic. I feel this’ll be of great use to you as  you’re planning your next trip to this location. 

 

The article clearly mentions those  who are willing to undertake a photography expedition to this site will have to prove their credentials of being an accredited photographer, which I feel you, being a member of international photographic society, already have. Besides this, it also stated that enthusiasts willing to undertake the journey will have to get their vaccination completed and also ensure that they have been tested a week before their planned trip. The last date mentioned for the current troupe is somewhere around 30 June, so you must hurry and read it once. If need be, call me. I'll guide you further.

 

Looking forward to meeting you soon.

You are planning a holiday in another country. Write a letter asking your friend to join you and explain

- Why are you taking a holiday?

- What is your holiday plan?

- Why would you like him/her to come?

Dear Réne,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and best of spirits. I was wondering if we could brew up some exciting plans for our upcoming holidays. As Christmas is approaching, this would probably be the best time to plan an excursion.

You’ll be thrilled to find out that I’ve got a fantastic deal which is in our budget. It’s a holiday package of four nights to Bali. I know you always wanted to explore this place. On the last day of this trip, the hotel will be organising a concert in which your favourite pop singer is performing.

It’s been so long since we last were together. Due to our hectic schedules, we don't get time to spend with each other. This vacation would give us a break from our monotonous life and to make more memories to cherish for our lifetime. I simply won’t take no for an answer.

Do let me know your availability so that I could reserve the package.

Eagerly waiting to see you.

Write a letter to your friend to ask him/her to develop a website for your business. In your letter

 – Give a brief description of the business

– Mention what you’d like to be there on the website

– Provide some ideas on use of images on the web site.

 

Dear Ryan,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. You would be delighted to know that I have embarked on my professional life by starting a venture which deals in clothing for dogs, our beautiful little companions, and I want you to design an attractive website for my venture.  

I am thinking of putting my business online to gain more popularity and expand my start-up, for which I will need a professional looking portal, but without a cash payment gateway. Since you are a professional web designer, who else could design my website better.  

I would like to render some ideas to make it attractive; try to add pictures of disparate breeds of dogs along with the fashion accessories being carried by them. I am sure it would be the most tempting portal in this domain. Please let me know how long it will take to accomplish this task.

I am eagerly waiting for your response so that we can sit and discuss the design in detail.

Your friend,

Dear Anna,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. You’ll be glad to know that I moved to Lille, France last week. I must say this city looks exquisite. I live in the outskirts, and my office is 500 m away. What I love the most about this place is that everyone greets one another with a contagious smile, which makes my day. What’s more, the inhabitants are cautious about their actions, like not littering on the roads, dumping garbage in the bins so that they could contribute towards the environment.

My job is far less demanding as compared to the previous one. My main responsibilities as a marketing analyst include market research, looking for new leads and preparation of proposals. The office atmosphere is quite convivial.

Since Christmas is approaching, I’d like to invite you here. If you could make it, trust me; this’ll be your best vacation. As you know, France is well known for its celebrations during Christmas and New year.

I can’t wait to see you.

Your friend,

– Why can’t you attend the party?

– Why did you enjoy working with him/her?

– Offer him/her to meet some other time.

 

Dear Karen,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. Thank you so much for inviting me to your farewell party. It’s really a generous offer to put me up at your place. I would really like to come but unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it due to some urgent family commitments.

By being your colleague, I got a chance to learn several things from you. Your dedication and passion towards work used to boost our spirits and keep us motivated to perform likewise. I really appreciate your quality of helping others whenever they are in need no matter whether it is personal or professional. You used to lighten up every conversation because of your good sense of humour. We are going to miss you a lot.

I was wondering if you could make it after a week, I would like to invite you for lunch at my home. It would be delightful to have you here. Please do let me know I will plan it accordingly.

All the best for your future endeavours. Hope to see you soon.

Your friend,

A friend you made while you were studying abroad has written to ask you for help in finding a job in your country.

A friend you made while you were studying abroad has written to ask you for help in finding a job in your country. You have heard about a job in a local company that might be suitable for him/her. Write a letter to this friend. In your letter

- tell your friend about the job and what sort of work it involves

- say why you think the job would be suitable for him/her

- explain how to apply for the job

Dear Anna,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. I remember in the last email you mentioned that you are looking for a job in India. I’m delighted to tell you that I have found an opening for a marketing analyst, which I believe is well-suited for you.

I find this profile very appropriate for you because you have a relevant experience of three years in this domain. Now you’ve got a chance to flaunt your French language skills since it’s a French enterprise, so you have a higher probability to get through this opportunity. Moreover, your overseas experience of one year would serve an additional benefit to you.

The main responsibilities in the post include market research, looking for new leads and preparation of proposals. It is extremely convenient to apply for the job. You have to create an account on the website of the company  after that it will hardly take fifteen minutes to fill all the credentials. 

Eagerly waiting to see you here.

Dear Anna,

 

It’s been long since we last talked. You’ll be glad to know that I have got a promotion recently. To celebrate this triumph, I am organising a party on this new year eve for my office co-workers. Everything seems well arranged, except the food,  one of my colleagues happens to be from your country,and to surprise him, I have decided to cook pasta and Margherita pizza, for which you must help me with the recipe. 

 

This colleague of mine has been homesick since last month. So, I have decided to make Italian cuisine to make him feel content. But, you know how bad my culinary skills are, so I want you to guide me throughout the cooking process on a video call. However, you must share the list of ingredients and the recipe with me.   

 

I can assure you that with your guidance, I’ll cook the best pizza, and also share pictures of it along with video recorded comments of guests.  

  

I can’t wait to hear from you.

-        Describe the movie.

-        Why would he/she find it interesting?

-        Suggest an arrangement to watch the movie together.

Dear Elena,

 

How have you been? It’s been so long since we last were in touch. I want to invite you for a movie night at my home this weekend like older times.

 

I’ve picked an extremely intriguing movie, with a good rating, for us that we will watch on the terrace of my home. This blockbuster film is all about my country through which we can explore a variety of cultures and traditions; we can have a virtual tour of the most popular cities, the life of the locals and so on.

 

I know your thesis topic is related to the cultures, so this’ll probably give you a plethora of ideas as India is a land of cultures and traditions. Now, I want to reveal one more secret to you that would be a cherry on the cake, your favourite actor Amir Khan is starring in the film in a lead role.

 

It would be delightful to have you here. Please do let me know if you can make it.

• explain that they are preventing you from studying well

• suggest what they can do to improve the situation

• tell them when you will have completed your studies

 

 

 

Dear Mr Smith,

 

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. I am sorry since I couldn’t make it to your house warming celebrations due to my hectic study schedule. I agree that doing interiors for a new home is quite an intriguing task; however, my semester examination is going on, and I am unable to concentrate on my studies at night owing to the piercing noise of drilling.

 

I will be grateful if you could carry out the furnishings during the day because I am not available at home until 2 pm. If this time slot is not convenient for you, I request you to utilise the soundproof equipment so that I can focus on my studies.

 

It is a matter of some time as the exams will get over within a week. After this, I have a summer vacation, and you will be glad to know that I am doing masters in interior designing. I will be happy to render my assistance to you.

 

Hoping for kind consideration.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Ryan Smith

-explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her

-suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

 

Dear Paul,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. You mentioned your dilemma in the recent letter of choosing between a college or a job. I suggest you apply for a job since you have just completed your bachelors, it would be great to break the mundane.

The job will render you the hands-on-training experience, which would be of great afford when you enrol for higher studies. You want to pursue a master’s in business administration, which is quite an expensive course, thereby adding a financial liability to your parents. Furthermore, people usually join this course after gaining 4 or 5 years of experience, so you won’t be able to enjoy your college life as nobody will be of your age.

I’ll suggest you look for management profiles because this would help you in cracking the interview for your desired course and offer you a decent salary.

I hope my advice will help you to make your decision.

Write a letter to your friends. In your letter:

•  thank them for the photos and for the holiday

• explain why you didn’t write earlier

•  invite them to come and stay with you

 

Dear friends,

I can’t thank you enough for persuading me to come along with you on a trip to Greece last month. As I was reluctant to go on this vacation in the beginning, I would have repented over my decision. Also, thank you for the exquisite pictures through which I can reminisce/revive all the beautiful moments anytime.

It’s been so long since we last were in touch as my grandfather was diagnosed with a cancer owing to which he had to undergo an operation, and he had nobody to look after him, so I had to stay with him during the entire convalescing period.

Since Christmas is approaching this would be the best time to visit my homeland, as France is notable for its celebrations during Christmas. Also, Paris is the fashion capital, and since you are shopaholic, you’ll find great offers on luxury brands. It would be delightful to have you here. Please do let me know if you can make it.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Yours truly,

Joshua

Dear Danni,

 

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. I’m delighted to tell you that your favourite artist Andrew Benson is performing in the upcoming annual fest at my university. I have already arranged an entry ticket for you. So, be ready for it on 13th November, it will start from 6 pm at the college premises.

 

He will be performing with his entire band and presenting one song from each of his albums. The fusion of rock, as well as jazz music, will render us great beats to groove. Moreover, there is a launch of his new album at this event. Trust me, we will have a lot of fun together.

 

I know you have always desired to attend his concert but couldn’t get an opportunity to do so. Since I am assisting the event management team, I would try to let you meet him and perhaps you could get a chance to take his autograph.

 

Please let me know your itinerary. I can’t wait to see you.
