Dear Iqra,

Hi! I hope this letter finds you in the best conditions of health and spirit. Lets make a plan for sitting but now i need your advice and information. Do you remember my friend Ifra? she is settled in Karachi. she asked me many times to visit her. Finally, i am thinking to see her next week. You had been living there before coming here so it seems me more effective to take some suggessions from you.

Primarily, i am keen to know about the transportation as most of the people prefer to travel by bus as it is more convenient now a days. But i am excited to have such a long journey by train. It seems me more facinating. Secondly, what should i do regarding accomodation? One of my uncles is residing there, but in my opinion it would be better option to stay at some hotel in nearby area. It will help me to avoid disturbing situation not only for me but for them too. Moreover, I am anxious to be acquinted with the customs and trends of that area. As karachi is the main city of Sindh provience, Sindhi customs are very much seen there. people, there, have Sindhi dialect, Sindhi ajrak is their favourit dress and can be seen everywhrere.

Finally, please impart some guidlines for the activities and festivity there to make my trip more memorable and full of zeal and zest.

i hope your reply will be one of the most important factors in making my move successful.

Thanking in anticipation.

Yours Truely,

imtiaz Yaqoob
