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

I am writing this letter to tell you that I’m interested in cooking Biryani, a famous dish of my country, in the upcoming international food festival.

I’d like to be a part of the event, representing my country Pakistan. It is one of those times that I’m truly thrilled to participate, as I’d be the representative of my homeland. So, I’ve planned to prepare Biryani for the event, it’s a combination of rice and meat with a lot of tasty spices. I anticipate it would be a hit.

Biryani is a blend of flavorful, aromatic rice cooked with spicy meat. While it can be made with variety of meat which includes beef, mutton, chicken, lamb and others, I’d prepare it with chicken. The spices would be coriander, cardamom, cloves and black pepper. Biryani is tempered in layers of rice and meat and seasoned with fresh coriander and garam masala. It’s mouthwatering and tantalizing to taste buds when enjoyed with a yogurt sauce.

I believe it would be a great idea to include Biryani in the festival as it’s a very famous dish from Pakistani cuisine and would be heartily enjoyed by everyone out there. I’d be over the moon if it happens, as biryani is a delicious representation of our country.

Waiting for your prompt response.

Best Regards,
