Dear Rishabh
Hi! You are invited to my birthday party on 25th August.
The party will be at Archie’s Place, Nehru Park from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. As the party is based on ‘Spiderman’ theme, please wear a dress in red/black colour combination. It will be fun as I have arranged a Mask game, a ‘Spidey’ web game and a never – seen – before neon light and music show. I am very excited as I will wear the special Spidey costume designed by my sister. Please come as it will be good to have your company.
Also, bring your brother Saurav.
Waiting for your confirmation.

Dear Rudra
It’s been a while since I’ve heard from you. Where have you been? I hope this letter finds you in the best of your health.
As summers are approaching, I was thinking if we could spend the summer break together at my place in Mumbai. I will introduce you to all my friends and close relatives. I will give you a city tour as well. We will spend some quality time in the afternoons near the sea shore. To add cherry on the cake, the weather here is very pleasant during those days due to sea winds.
I am excited at the thought of you and I spending the summer together after so long. I have to tell you a lot of things and expect the same from you. Give my regards to aunty and uncle!
Hope to see you soon.
Yours lovingly
Anshu
