Dear Ranjit,

Hope this letter finds you in the best of spirits and health. I’m writing this letter to remind you that we will complete a decade since we left college this December.

Let’s get together to celebrate this milestone. I am hosting a lunch party for all my batchmates on 10th December from 1 pm onwards at the coffee shop near college, where we used to spend most of our time those days. I chose this spot as we not only discussed studies but also politics, life, education, teachers, and secrets there. This reunion will revive our friendship through an exchange of experiences.

I need your help to send this invitation to Rahul and Jimmy, as I am not in touch with them nowadays. The theme of the party is ‘Back to College’. So please dress like a college student.

Hope to have a great time together.

I can’t wait to see you.

Your sincerely,

Kamaljeet Kaur
