Dear Ram,

I hope you’re doing well, I am excited after hearing that you are coming to Canada, its been years since we met I wish we can have a great time.

Actually, I need few things from my home, first is traditional saree, second is antique ornament set and finally a book, don’t panic they are already wrapped by my parents, soon they will send to your place, and also things will occupy less space.

As we have traditional day in our college next month and I am also participating in a folk dance so traditional saree and ornaments are essential to participate, nevertheless I have plenty of books but I am unable to get the reasoning book which I purchased in our country. I hope you are not in trouble to bring these things.

I made all arrangements for your stay and also planned a good trip together over a weekend. You will reach on coming Monday afternoon so I will be waiting at airport arrivals place near out gate area in red jacket.

See you soon,

Best Wishes,

Sasi
