Dear Gurshaan,

Hope everything is going well with you. I am back in the town after a long journey of Blue mountain, it was a great experience the beauty of mountains was more enticing in real as as compared to the photos. The hotel was situated at the peek of the mountains.

The book you lent me was quite helpful for me as there were no Internet facilities and often I used the guidebook to locate the places those I wanted to explore. Moreover, the book was written with details which assisted me effortlessly to understand it.

After a week days my hockey tournament will begin and i really wanted to return the book before it starts. so i am sending this copy to your home as my uncle’s job posting is changed from the last location to your city and you will receving your travel guidebook in 3 days.

Eagerly waiting for you to meet after the tournament.

Yours truly,

Arsh
