You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows:

Dear Alice,

Hope you are doing great! I recently learned about your interest in going on a camping holiday during summers. Well for a start let me inform you that summers are the best time for planning an overnight camping gateway in the woods. The surroundings while camping are so calm that you feel every ounce of nature rejuvenating your body. You can also enjoy a dip in the lake water in the evening and chill with friends at night by the bonfire making it a memorable and enjoyable escape.

Although it sounds very adventurous camping by the lake and relaxing, it has another side to it as well. There are too many flies in the nearby area due to the dampness besides the water bodies making it extremely difficult to have a peaceful nap during late hours. One of the major disadvantages is the lack of cellular network and not to forget that there are no restaurants in that area, making it impossible to find hot food to burn your hunger.

It would be great if you could let me know when you are planning to visit? I am currently travelling and will be available next weekend to accompany you for a vacation in the summer. Since we have common friends, I would be genuinely happy to come along.

Looking forward to meeting you soon, take care!

Your friend,

Drumit
