Dear Smit

I’m so excited to hear that you are coming back from Canada next Friday at 11:00 PM , It’s very long time, I can’t wait to meet you. I have already planned many things which we will do together. I will tell you everything in detail once you reach here. I am very sad that, I am travelling out of town on Friday and I will return on Monday. Sadly it is not possible for me to come at airport to welcoming you. I am going out for important bussiness meeting, which was planned well in advance and I can not cancel last moment. But on Monday I will directly come to meet you in morning.

I have called my friend his name is Umang, and he will reach airport at 11:00 PM sharp to receive you. I have shared your arrival details and your photos to him so that he can find you.

We will have lots of fun as I have planned a small vacation, see you soon.

Take Care.
