Dear Jean,
What is it like there? Still snowy? The weather is still not here, just as hot as when you came here to join the international arts festival a year ago. About your invitation to come to visit you, I am not sure if I can go there. In fact, it’s nearly impossible because I don't think I can afford it. So, why don’t you come here? I’ll show you around my beloved hometown.
Your friend, Lyla

Dear Shua,
How are you? I hope you're okay. I am writing this letter to inform you that I will be traveling to Seoul next month. I am very happy that my boss accepted my leave request. You know that my job doesn't allow me to take long vacations. So, I will take this opportunity to meet you. You probably don’t have any idea how much I miss you. I can’t wait to meet and hug you.
Love, Kyla

Dear Grandma,
How are you today? I hope you are healthy and well as always. I am writing this letter to thank you for the gift you sent for my birthday yesterday. I really like the toys and clothes you bought for me. I can't wait to visit your house later this year! We'll plant flowers, cook bread, and sew as usual right? Thank you very much for caring and loving me.
Love, Your Granddaughter, Evelyn
Dear Yasvin and Fio,
Thanks a lot for a great weekend. We really enjoyed ourselves. Mike and I were talking about the holidays. We thought it might be nice to go camping in Scotland for a couple of weeks. Are you interested? Let me know if you are, and we can talk about dates. See you soon, I hope. Thanks again.
Love, Farah

Dear Arin,
It’s a great pleasure to receive a letter from you. I’m sorry I haven’t written for a long time; I was busy with preparation for exams.
You know, I can’t say that I have some definite duties but I try to help my parents as much as possible. As for me, I hate doing the dishes but unfortunately do it from time to time. However, I like to do my room, it makes me feel cheerful. I’m sure that we should help parents. They support us whatever we start doing and helping is the least we can do for them.
What great news! I adore kittens, they're so cute. What is your name of your, have you already decided it? Is it a girl or a boy? Who presented you with such a wonderful gift? Now I should go. Look forward to your answer.
Love,
Lalit.
