You do NOT need to write any address.

Dear Mr. Van and Ms. Thanh,

I am extremely happy to receive your letter and a number of photos you took during our vacation. Many thanks for this. During our vacation abroad, you two were really supportive of me. Thank to your nice tip for lodging and tourist attractions in Canada, I was able to see a sophisticated, bustling city with a vibrant culture and welcoming residents, as well as wild, unspoiled nature and animals. Canada is undoubtedly one of the greatest cities, in my view. Even though I was only here for a short while, I had an extremely wonderful experiences. Once again, thank you.

I would also want to apologize for not responding to you sooner. I had a backlog of work and missed a deadline after returning from a long trip overseas, which required most of my time.

As I previously told you while our last break next month, on Saturday 27th May, I will graduate from university. I cordially invite you both to visit my homeland, Vietnam. Greeting to all of you. I will guide you to visit fascinating places such as Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office. At such places, you can take photographs to save memories. Furthermore, you should enjoy Vietnamese cuisine as pho, banh mi, to say but a few. More specifically, I’m hoping you can attend my graduation ceremony.

I hope to meet you next month.

Thank you and best regards

Ngo Phi Long
