Dear Jason,

I hope you and your family are doing well, my wife and kids were very happy and still occasionally remember the trip we went on last year. I am about to plan my trip to Germany as we planed and would like to get some heads-up about your country.

I am planing to bring you a hand crafted photo album that’s made of palm leaves, similar to the one you saw and liked in my house. Please, dont hesitate and do let me know if you need anything more form india that will exite your wife and kids. However, i am not planing to pack a lot of cloths as i would love to purchase traditional clothing that will better suit your cultural activities. Suggest me of some clothing and activities that i need to be prepared before I come to you. Moreover, I cant wait to enjoy the delicacy your country have to offer me as i am very intrested to experience your cultural food and Is it a good time of the year for the seasonal food you were talking about last time.

Cant wait to hear back from you.

Yours lovingly,

Abhi
