Dear John,

I Hope this letter find you well, I’m writing this to tell you about exciting news, I’m gonna move next week in makassar city for a new business.

After several thoughs, i decide to open a new restaurant in makassar city, the restaurant theme will be japanese food, cause many survey said that peoples in makassar love japanese food especially ramen and sushi. So i think it’ll be a new opportunity for opening a business in there.

Makassar city is known as kota daeng, here there’s a traditional transportation called Becak, it’s like a bicycle but it can carry people in front of them. The people is also very kind to other race, and the tradional food is very unique here, such as otak-otak(it’s fish based), pisang epe, coto, etc.

I’d loved for you to visit me sometimes, I’ll become your personal tour guide. You can stay with me because i have a spare room. Let me know if you have free time next month.

Looking forward to hearing for you.

Best wishes,

Babayaga
