Dear irna,

I am writing this letter to inform you that I am very surprised to hear that you will be coming to visit my Hometown, Toraja on Monday. I’m so excited to welcome you here. Hope you are well my friend!

Actually, I would like to recommend a homestay Toraja Dannari Homestay which is located in Lolai with beautiful views, and only 10 minutes walk from my house. Moreover, the owner of the hotel is my friend’s dad, so you can ask for a 50% discount on your stay.

During your visit in my hometown, you might conduct a tour in Kalimbuan Bori, which is famous tourist attractions and must-visit places in Toraja.

I will accompany you during your vacation here, and I want to be your tour guide. Since it’s the start of winter, I kindly inform you to bring a winter jacket, scarf, and sweater due to the fact it’s quite cold. Moreover, you will live on top of a mountain, so I think you should also bring a raincoat just in case.

Send me your arrival time so I can pick you up from the airport.

I hope to see you soon

Kind regards,
