Dear Yasmine,

I hope you are doing well in your dental school. I just came from banff trip last week, and I am overjoyed to share with you that banff is heaven on earth. I think everyone should visit there once in their lifetime. The sceneric views, blue-water lakes and famous spots for camping and hiking were worth of my every single dollar. Not only this, there are beautiful spas resorts which were so relaxing.

I can’t thank you enough for giving me the guidebook of yours. It covered almost all of the popular spots in the area. I remember when I was hiking with my friend, and all of sudden my phone stopped working which was supporting us with navigation to destination. At that time, guidebook became life-saviour for us as it has map in it. Also, it was so handy to carry everywhere we go.

I am sending you back via canada post and I guess you will receive it by next week.

Again, thankyou and cannot wait to see my bestie to become a doctor next year.

See you soon.

Your dearest,

Isha.
