Dear Fatima,
I hope this letter finds all of you in
the best of health and spirits. All of us are also doing fine here. It has been
a very long time since we met or wrote to each other. So I thought of penning
down a few lines to check things with you.
We just got back from our vacation to
Malang and had a great time. We went to Bromo and Kota Batu. Amazing must see
places. If you happen to ever plan a holiday to that side of the world do let
me know and I shall give you tips on sightseeing, culinary, etc.
I want to share something that is
disturbing me these days. Mom has not been keeping good health and I am really
worried for her. Sometimes I see bad dreams about mom and they wake me up in
the middle of the night. I am sure you know what bad dreams I am talking about.
Please don’t share this with anybody and I know I can trust you on this.
Anyways you say what is up with you
and how is work? I can see that it is keeping you really busy, as I haven’t
heard from you at all.
Give my love to your mom and dad and
loads of love to you too.
Stay in touch and do write!
Take care
Love,
Aleena

Example 2:
Hello,
I would like to get to know someone
from your country and a friend has told me that you would like to practice your
English. Perhaps we could email each other. Could you tell me a bit about
yourself and your family? Could you suggest how we might meet sometime in the
future?
Thanks...
Example 3:
Hello Alexa,
I'm glad you're interested in my
country. As your friend said, I'd like us to email each other to help me
improve your English.
Let me start by telling you a bit
about myself and my family. My name's Ivo and I live in Kutna Hora, which is about
45 minutes from Prague by car. I used to work for a medical company but now I'm
learning to be a salesperson. In the future I want a job where I can travel for
my work. I've already been to a few places in Europe but I've never been to an
English-speaking country.
I live at home with my parents, which
is convenient, as I don't have to do much housework and my meals are cooked for
me. My younger brother is studying at university. Although he is four years
younger than me, we get on quite well. We both enjoy snowboarding and music.
What about you? Have you ever been to
the Czech Republic? It would be great if you could come over one
Anyway, I must go and get on with my
work! Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes,
Ivo
