Dear ……………..,
Sample Answer
Dear Russel,
Not sure exactly when I heard from you the last time, but it must have been at least a few years since we spoke to each other. You’d be glad to know that I’ve switched to a different job as a Senior Accounting Manager which actually allows me to roam around different places instead of doing something just by sitting at a desk. Besides, I also run a small café now during the weekend, right across the market near the new stadium, which you saw being built last time you visited me.
Now about the reason why I am exactly writing to you. Actually, I will be visiting your town early next month to help my youngest uncle move with all of his stuff because he got a new job there. Oh, I hope that you can still remember my youngest uncle with some “limited mobility” issue.
However, when I visit your town, I’d also like to enjoy that famous horse race which takes place every year. Besides, I would also like for you to take me to the open street market while I’m there. So, hope to see you soon!
Warm wishes,
David
