Dear Chiku,

I hope you’re doing well!

I am just writing this letter to say sorry for not appreciating your efforts properly. You really helped me a lot during my move to the new apartment, because it was not possible alone, especially with the furniture I had and other heavy stuff.

My schedule has been very busy lately. There is a big project going on within my team, and my manager has asked me to lead it. In addition, I have French language classes on weekdays right after work. On weekends, I go to cricket practice with my sports team members.

However, I am taking a day off next month. Let us plan something for both of us. If you are free, we can visit Banff together, and I would arrange everything. I feel lucky to have you in my life. I am hoping to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Sahib
