Dear Suresh,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying your life.
It’s been quite long that I couldn’t write to you as I was planning my visit to your city, London. I feel lucky enough that my company has selected me for a project in London and I would be reaching there in the next month.
My London based project is a great opportunity for me where I would be interacting with some clients for presenting business proposals and further finalizing the deals. This is a full-time job of day shift but sometimes, I may need to work in night shifts. As I am new to the city, I need some help from you if you can give some information such as the rent charges, food prices, availability of public transport, facility of banking and others. Since you are already in the city, I think you can be of great help in gaining familiarity to the city.
I would be staying in London for 2 years after which the project ends and I hope we will have great fun together in London.
Yours truly,
Pratham

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in connection with the offer I received from your centre. (reason for writing) First of all, I would be grateful if you could provide me with the detailed information concerning your offer of English courses. I am particularly interested to know whether you organise specialised courses in accordance with the STANAG 6001 norm.
Another matter I need information on is whether you will be able to organise a course for my unit in December. Would it be possible for you to train two groups of 12 soldiers who all hold STANAG 6001 level 2 certificates in English. What is more, our commander needs individual conversation classes and I wonder whether you could arrange them as well.
Finally, I would also like some information concerning the cost of these courses. Due to the fact that our budget is tight, I would be much obliged if you could offer a reasonable price.
I am looking forward to you reply and I would appreciate it if you could inform me as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully,
XYZ

Dear Alice,
How have you been doing? Have you got any plan for the coming school break? Perhaps I will go to see my parents in the countryside.
Let me tell you about my last summer vacation at my grandparents'. It was one year ago and was one of my most unforgettable experience.
There is a river at the back of my grandparents, and I often go swimming there when I spend my vacation with them.
One day when I was swimming with my friends, I suddenly caught a cold. I felt so dizzy and was too weak to continue. I thought I was going to drown but I couldn't call out for help. Luckily one of my friend saw that. He swam towards me and tried to pull me up. My life was finally saved.
Now recalling that moment I understand how precious life is. This event taught me to appreciate my life.
What about you? Have you got any unforgettable holiday that you would like to share with me?
With best wishes,
Son
