Dear Joanne, Salutation Date

I really want to thank you for all of the trouble you went to entertaining the entire family over the
past holiday season.
Introduction

I know that you organize these holiday gatherings because you enjoy doing it and you love to
have everyone get together at your place. Nevertheless, I just want to make sure that you
understand how much the rest of us appreciate everything you do to make these get-togethers
happen.

Having helped Susan organize a few much smaller social gatherings over the years I know how
much work is involved. I realize how much planning and preparation you must have to do each
and every year so that the entire extended family and assorted friends and acquaintances have a
happy and fun holiday celebration. It's amazing really, that you are able to do such a great job,
year after year, in parallel with your other duties, both as a mom and an active volunteer worker!

So Joanne, on behalf of everyone I want to express my sincere thanks to you for all that you do
to assemble and entertain us during the holiday season. You really are the glue that holds our
extended family together!
Body
I will have to stop now.
Closure

With love and admiration, Complementary Close

Earl's Court Hostel

Address
London

Saturday, 2nd May 2020

Hello Pat!  Greeting Date

Thanks for your last letter. I hope you are fine. Introduction

I'm writing to you from London, where I'm spending my summer holidays with my sister Anna.
I'm absolutely fascinated by the city, it's really awesome! As you know, London is the capital city
of England and it's on the River Thames. Anna and I are staying in a nice youth hostel, very close to the
city center.

On the first day of out stay here, we spent a fortune on the flight on the famous London Eye. In only
30 minutes we saw more than fifty London's most famous landmarks! The Eye, which is the symbol
B of the city, like the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris, is the biggest observation wheel worldwide. After
o the flight, Anna and I went to watch Changing the Guard, which takes place inside the railings
d of Buckingham Palace. The Queen's Guard is always accompanied by a band and the ceremony lasts
y 45 minutes. It was really amazing! Next, we took some photos of the Houses of Parliament, of Big
Ben and of Westminster Abbey. And we had a nice walk along the riverside in the evening. I was
mesmerized by London by night.

We're going to visit the British Museum and Tate Modern today and we've planned Tower of London,
Tower Bridge, National Gallery, Madame Tussaud's and St. Paul's Cathedral for tomorrow. Of course,
we have too little time to visit all the places we'd like to because we're leaving in 2 days time. So I think
that I must come back here next summer. Maybe you would go with me -what do you think? We'll talk
about it when we meet.

That's all from me now. Closure
