Band 6+: You are going to spend your vacation in Rome, Italy. Your friend's grandfather lives there and has offered to let you stay in his apartment. Write a letter to your friend's grandfather. In your letter: Thank him for the offer but politely decline infrom him of when you will be in Rome and your travel plans invite him for an outing

Dear John

I’m doing well, and hope everything is great with you too

I just wanted to thank you about your offer to use your apartment as our means to stay in Rome. However, I regret that I cannot accept it because my parents and my younger brother are travelling with me. Therefore, I do not want to put so much burden on you, although it could have been a different story if I was alone .

In our itinerary provided by our tour guide, we will be exploring historical monuments like churches, museums, eating Italian food and doing some recreational activities over a period of four days. I will be there from 10th November to 15th November. Our hotel is near the Saint Cathedral, but that does not means I am not going to have fun with you. I booked an extra seat for you on our cruise dinner through the city on our second day.

I would love to hear a yes, from you

Lots of love

Gurbeg Singh
