Dear Sally,

Hope you are in sound health. It’s really exciting to invite you to a surprise overseas holiday.

You might know that I love holidaying, and I have been waiting for almost a year to get leave from my employer. This year I plan to go to Madagascar, a beautiful country surrounded by sea. I am sure that you will be free at Christmas, and I have already planned to take you with me for the trip on 20 December.

We have to board fight to Cape Town, and after the night stay there in a four star hotel, the next day we reach our destination. The tour operator informed me that we can stay there for the next ten days, before our return to Cape Town. The package costs $20,000 for two, which includes food, accommodation and travel.

I’m sure that you can enjoy surfing as much as you want, as the island has wonderful beaches. They also told me that they will arrange a safari into the wild. I think we can have more fun once we explore the place.

Eagerly waiting for your reply,

Yours Merin
