Dear Shola,

How are you doing and the family? I am sorry that I cannot visit you before I left for Abuja. I am writing this letter to tell you that I have relocated to Abuja and this is because I have chosen to stay with my family who have been in the city for the past 5 years. It is now important for me to join them and be living together as a family. Living with my family has brought joy and happiness to my life and no more loneness as I was used to be

Abuja is a beautiful city being the federal capital territory of Nigeria, the city has good social amenities such as good road network, well equipped hospitals, tertiary institution, sport facilities and good water system and mor

Additionally, I was so impressed by the street light all over Abuja. I entered the city at 10:45 pm and everywhere was looking beautiful and lovely. What I enjoyed most in the city is the secured environment and unity among the people.

Kindly please extend my regards to your family, catch up with you soon.
