Dear John,

Hello, I hope you are perfectly well and healthy. I am writing you this letter because of the our country national event. The kirkpinar oily wrestling is a perfect time to visit Turkey. Firstly, let me tell you about oily wrestling. It is some kind of early version of the modern wrestling but the wrestler which we call them pehlivan pours twenty liters olive oil on their whole body. They are just wearing shorts nothings more. This is the one of the oldest sport event in the world. In Edirne they are gonna make 700th year anniversary this year. This is not just a sport event this is like a festival to locals. People comes edirne from all around Turkey for this event. So when we were university you told me you would come Turkey in the next years. Next month is the perfect time for your visit. I hope you do not have any other plans for this july. I would like to see you and also my family asked me about you and i told them probably he will come. They want you to come and stay with us. They missed you ass well. This event is very important for turkish people because they call oily wrestling is our ancestor sport. So people are thrilled about this sport event. I think you will like it. You should come.I am waiting for you.

Hoping to see you soon!
