December 15th

Dear Myrto,


I’m writing to let you know that I’ve arranged times and
tickets, and I’m coming to Greece on January 3rd. My
plane arrives at the airport at 10am.

I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see the sights and spend
some time with you and your family. So, what are your
plans for those ten days? What are we going to do? I
hope we can visit some ancient monuments, but most of
all, I want to make time to see the skiing competition you
told me about. I would also like to know if we’ll have
time to go shopping. I want to buy some souvenirs for
my friends!

By the way, what’s the weather like? What clothes should
I bring? Write soon to let me know about your plans.
That’s all for now. Thanks again for inviting me. Look
forward to seeing you.

Lots of kisses!!!

Emma

P.S. Can you come and pick me up from the airport?

USEFUL TIPS
  1. Use an appropriate greeting and
    ending.
  2. Say why you are writing in the opening
    paragraph.
  3. Give your friend all the information he/she
    needs. Make sure you answer all his/her
    questions.
  4. Finish the letter with set phrases like: look
    forward to seeing you, see you soon, keep in
    touch, write soon, etc.
  5. Use a P.S. if you want to state something
    you have forgotten or if you want to
    emphasise something.
