SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Annie,

Hope this finds you well. I was very happy when I received your letter. We haven’t seen each other for a long time and I was very much looking forward to spending time with you. But, a very important meeting has popped up from nowhere and I really can’t miss it.

But, you need not to worry about reaching home. The moment you arrive at the station, just make a call to 7892345324. My friend Anish will come to pick you up. He knows you and I am sending along with this letter a photo of him. He will take you direct home and give you the keys of the house. Along with the keys of the house, there are keys of the scooty,which if you want you can use them.

In the fridge is the food and to the right of the fridge is the oven. Make sure you eat it after heating it. Also, there is ice -cream for you. I will be reaching off by 8 in the evening and we shall go for dinner and there is a surprise for you as well.

Excited to meet you.

With love,

Anmol.

Dear Eva,
I am sorry to hear that you met with an accident and got your leg fractured, specially when we had our match the next week. You have told me how important the match was for you and I can understand what you might be going through.
 
Rakesh told me you are admitted in Combined Medical Institute. Although, the past record of this hospital is not that great, I have heard that they have improved a lot since past few years. So,how are the doctors? Are they providing you proper facilities and how is the food?
 
Well, there is also a great news for you. Remember,the scholarship you applied for last year?? You have been selected for it and now your studies will be taken care by the authorities. So, it is not all gloom!
 
Do let me know if you need any help. I will visit you at the hospital next week. Till then, bye.
With Love,
Anmol.

Dear Avinash,

Hi! I am Anmol and got your address from the international pen pals and am very excited to write to you.

I am currently working with BBC over a documentary they are making, that includes travelling around the world and meeting different people. The work is exciting and always keeps on toes. Meeting so many people, the realization has come that we all are so much similar and yet so different.

Before this, there is a university course on Fiction writing in Cambridge that helped me reach here. It was so much fun and different from the kind of courses one does in India, our country.

Presently, I am doing scuba diving, hill climbing, swimming, jogging, anything and everything under roof. On 3rd of December, I will be in Delhi and thought it would be nice if you could show me around and celebrate your birthday.

I am eagerly waiting for your reply and know about you and hope that we can become good friends.

With love,

Anmol

Dear Avinash,

I hope you are fine and having fun in your new life. It must be new beginning and living a life with someone you loved, nothing more could be wished for.

Knowing the person you are, you must have read the above lines in fist anger, and all I can say is I am really sorry for missing the most important day of your life and more importantly, moving out unannounced.

You remember, the dream I told you about, going on a world tour and writing all about it, it has come true. I have been three months into it and had not a minute to myself, so could not even write you earlier. Presently, my stay is at Sydney for seven days and then the journey will move towards Malaysia. The call came seven days before the wedding and it was expected that I reach Delhi as soon as possible.

It all happened so soon that I could not even tell you. Either ways, I will be reaching Bombay next month, and meeting you.

Excited to see you and your wife.

With love,

Anmol.
