Dear John,

The biggest news in my country today is about the invention of Wind Turbines by students of Delhi University. These turbines are expected to revolutionize the renewable resources industry. Also, my cousin Karan is part of the team of inventors so, I have seen the prototypes already.

According to my knowledge, the work on this project had started two years ago and only ten students were selected on the bases of their academic performance. So, Karan was one of the first to start research and development for this program, and he shared this information with me from that time. Additionally, I have a prototype at home which is fully functional and reliable. Furthermore, making these turbines is cost effective hence, more people can take advantage of it ones its available in the market.

In addition to this, they have raised funding from the government and the production planning is in full flow. I wanted to share this information with you so that, you could learn more about these eco-friendly power sources and possible use them ones they are ready for sale.

Thanks, and have a great day,

Simrat
