Dear Charu,

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to invite you to visit me in my new city. It would be great to meet you again and spend some time together.

I am planning for you to come on 15 August 2026. If this date is not convenient, please let me know and we can decide another suitable time.

I will arrange your accommodation at a nearby guest house close to my apartment. I can also pick you up from the airport or railway station, so you do not need to worry about transport.

During your visit, I will show you some popular places in the city, such as the city park, the local museum, and a famous shopping street. I am sure you will enjoy visiting them.

Please let me know if you can come. I am looking forward to seeing you.

Best regards,

Saran
