Dear Maria,

I hope this letter finds you well, I am thrilled to hear that you are planning to visit Singapore for two weeks this holiday season. I would love to answer all your questions mentioned in your letter and try to make your experience a memorable one.

I would like to offer you one of the spare bedrooms in my home as my place is quite near to the town center. This will not only ensure that we can spend some quality time toghether but also save some of your time to visit the major attractions located in downtown.

One of the major attractions you might want to visit would be the dolls museum it is free of charge and just 5 minutes away from my home, Additionally, I would recommend you to have the famous Indian Hot Dog at Marcleys, which is a bit far in the suburbs near the Alison valley. We can also find out some new attractions once you land for us to visit together.

Lastly to answer your question about the clothing that you might want to carry, I would ask you to bring loose, baggy and airy clothes as the temperature will be skyrocketing in mid May. I hope that answers all your questions. Please write to to me once you receive this letter and let me know your thoughts

Your Lovingly,

Pritesh
