Dear Maria,

I hope you find this letter in a good health. I am super excited to know that you are finally visiting my home country.

I had arranged your hotel bookings for your fortnight stay but unfortunately the hotel management canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. Don’t you worry my friend, as I am currently living in an spacious apartment with my family I am more than happy to host you for your stay.

There’s numerous historical places to see, out of which Taj Mahal in Agra, and Gateway of India in Delhi tops the list. You must try famous Indian dishes like Chicken Biriyani, Pani-Puri, as well as Vadapav.

As my region is at the tip of South- Asian continent, it is very hot all the time of a year. Thus, you must bring some light clothes to wear during your holiday here. Last but not the least, dont forget to bring the running shoes. It will give you comfort in the long treks and which we’re going to take in the desert located in Rajasthan.

I am eagerly waiting for your arrival.

Yours lovingly,

Arth
