Dear Li Ming, How are you?

I miss you very much, for we haven’t met each other for two years since we went to college.

Now the summer vacation is coming. It’ll be wonderful if you can come to my home town. We can also go to visit some famous scenic spots around here if you like.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it very much. Please tell me the time before you start off so that I can meet you at the station. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Zhangjun
