Dear John,

I hope you are doing well. It’s been a while since we last caught up, and I trust everything is going smoothly for you. I wanted to suggest taking up basketball as a new sport for you. Given your interest in maintaining good health, basketball will not only help you stay fit but also boost your energy levels.

To start learning basketball, I recommend reaching out to our local sports club. They are very welcoming to newcomers and offer a generous 30% discount for the first two months, which would be advantageous for you to pick up the basics of the game.

I am also keen on learning basketball, so we could learn together. It would be a great opportunity for both of us, and perhaps we could even avail of a discount by signing up at the same time.

Take care and hopefully, we can meet up soon.

Best wishes,

Veerpal
