Dear James,

I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I had much fun in my vacation, I visited the zoo and saw a lot of endangered species, furthermore, I loved the experience of living in tents in the wild and trying the life of our ancestors.

I also wanted to thank you for lending me the guidebook, it really helped me out to visit more destinations in less time. It encompasses the locations of all the facilities in the vicinity and there is a map attached in the last page of the book.

I also have good news, I returned home and I’m arranging a party and invited my close friends and relatives. You’re more than welcome to join us, it’ll be held on next Friday. I hope you can make it and come along so I can hand the book to you.

Warm wishes,

Peter
