Hi Mary,
How are you? I hope your examinations went well. I’m sorry that I haven’t written for such a long time but I was really busy organising a surprise homecoming party for my brother. Anyway, I’m writing to tell you about the event.
As you know, Joe has been working abroad and recently got a fantastic promotion, so we all wanted to congratulate him personally with a big party. It was a lot of work. First, we had to tidy the house from top to bottom. Then, we spent hours in the kitchen cooking all his favourite foods such as Thai curry, Japanese sushi and Mexican burritos. To top it off, we made a sumptuous chocolate cheesecake for desert. Dad picked him up at the airport, with not a squeak from him about the party. When Joe entered the house, all the lights were out. Suddenly, Dad turned on the lights to reveal a room full of friends and relatives. Joe was totally surprised but after the initial shock he was beaming with delight. He couldn’t stop smiling all evening.
It’s a pity you weren’t there, but hopefully you can pay us a visit in the not too distant future. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
Sue
