Example

Dear Sonia,

How are you? Very well, I hope. I'm sure my dog remembers going for walks in the park with you - he barks when I say your name!

Anyway, I'm writing because there's only a month to go before I come to visit you. Maybe you can give me some advice so that I'm fully prepared.

First, what sort of present should I bring for your parents? I'd also like to buy you a CD. So can you help me out? I know you like Queen, but I don't know which albums you've got. Finally, what sort of clothes shall I bring? Will we be going anywhere special such as a party? Shall I bring anything formal?

Well, I have to go now as I've got to study for a maths exam. Please write back soon and let me know. I'm really looking forward to coming!

Lots of love, Suzanne
