Dear Anant,

I hope you’re doing well. It’s been such a long time since we last met, and I have some exciting news_I’ll be visiting Kolkata next week.

I need to visit your hometown to expand our business. A client-meeting has been arranged near your home, which is very important for our business’s prosperity, as the client is offering a big project to our organization. For this, we need to finalize a suitable area, where we could set up a new manufacturing plant.

If everything goes smoothly, I should have a couple of free hours to explore the beautiful town. Could you please suggest some must-visit places in your area? As I’ll have limited time, it would be great if I list down some famous tourist destinations in advance.

Since I’m unfamiliar with the city, I hoped for your company. Also, I’ve heard somewhere that this place is popular for street food and lively markets, so together we could enjoy these leisure activities, and we will have a chance to spend some quality time.

Let’s catch up soon!

Best regards,

Subhas Kundu
