Dear Didi,
Hi Didi. What’s up? I am now inviting you to attend our Christmas party in my house in
Kompleks Anggur. I’ll be having the celebration on the 23rd of December 2016 at 12 p.m.
Even though you don’t celebrate Christmas, I would ask you to join the fun as you have been
a very special relative to us. Please bring with you your siblings because my sister has
prepared special activities and games. And you must miss my father’s cooking. He’ll cook
again this year.
Love,
Elizabeth

Dear Vanessa,
Thank you so much for your last letter. It was great to hear from you after so many months.
You seem to be having a nice time in Estonia.
Thanks also for the photos. I absolutely loved that snap of yours standing beside a snowman.
Estonia looks amazing. Someday, I would definitely like to go there.
There’s not much happening here. I am busy with my part time job and college.
By the way, will you coming to Indonesia anytime soon? If you are, let me know the dates and
we can arrange to meet up.

- Sincerely,
Nurul
- Thanks for being the creator of such great meals and for being a good friend all those
years. I realize that we have lost contact for too long and I would like to renew the
friendship as soon as we are able. Let’s get together soon.
- While I was making one of my favorite recipes today, crispy fried chicken, I was
reminded of who the original creator of this marvelous recipe was, you. I dont’t
remember if I ever thanked you for giving me this wonderful creation.
