You are going to spend your vacation in a city in a foreign country. You have never been there before. Your cousin has a friend who lives there. Write a letter to the friend.
In your letter
– introduce yourself
– say why you are making this trip
– ask some questions about the city (e.g. places to see, things to do, things to bring)
Dear ABC,
I hope you are doing well and are in the best of health. My name is XYZ and I am Steve’s cousin.I am sure you remember that he was your classmate at University of Alberta. I live in Ludhiana and I have just completed my studies and I am planning to visit your city Edmonton. As I have never been to Edmonton before, Steve told me that I should seek your help in planning my trip.
Well, I must tell you that you are lucky to have got an opportunity to live in such a beautiful city. I have always been fascinated by Edmonton and that is the main reason I decided to visit it this vacation. Also one of my uncles stays in the nearby city of Red Deer and I want to meet him as well.
I have read a lot about Edmonton and seen its pictures on the internet. However, I still can’t decide which monuments and which places are worth visiting during my short stay in the city. Considering that I will have only six days in the city, I need to plan this trip wisely. Could you help me prepare a list of the most famous tourist attractions there? Also please suggest a nice hotel that provides affordable accommodation and restaurants that serve Indian food. As this is the winter season, I will be definitely bringing some woolen clothes. Please let me know if there is anything else that I need to carry along.
I will be grateful if you can guide me in planning my trip. I know you are busy but I hope that you can spare some time for this.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
XYZ
