INFORMAL LETTER or e -mail - SAMPLE # 1

Your English friend, Steve, is thinking of visiting you next month with his girlfriend. Read his email and the notes you have made. Then, use all your notes to write a letter to Steve (Notes are included in the text in bold)
Email
From:  Steve
Sent:  16th April
Subject:  Visit
I’ll be coming to visit you in May with Linda, my girlfriend, and it’s the first time I’ve ever been to your town, so it would be great if we could meet again. (brilliant!)
 I was hoping you could suggest a few nice places to visit (give details) and you’ll be able to show us around if you’ve got time.
We haven’t decided where to stay yet, so maybe you could find somewhere cheap, but comfortable for 2 nights. (no problem)
One more thing. Can you tell me how to get from the railway station to your house? I haven’t got a GPS and we might get lost!(will meet you there)
See you next month,
Steve
 SAMPLE ANSWER -
Dear Steve,
How’s it going in Liverpool? I’m really glad you’re coming to visit me and I’m looking forward to meeting Linda.
You said you were thinking of staying for a couple of days, so I’ve made a little plan of places to visit when you get here. If you’re going to stay for two nights it might be better to book a room at the youth hostel.
Do you fancy going for lunch at Mario’s pizzeria? The pizzas are absolutely delicious, the desserts are brilliant and the waiters are friendly. We could spend the first morning visiting the market and maybe some second-hand bookshops as well. There are loads in the town!
Anyway Steve, It’ll be great to see you again. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourselves. Keep in touch and don’t worry- I’ll pick you up at the station when you arrive.
See you soon,
Pete
