SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Lavanya,
I am sorry I haven’t written for so long. After the holidays, the work pressure was so high that I never had a minute to myself. I am writing to thank you for the fantastic holiday that you made possible.

It was a long time since we stayed together and living at your house was a perfect retreat to our old times. Going to the same places we went when we were young and meeting those people was simply fantastic. I am still missing the 2 o clock ice cream and the long walks near the beach, outside your house. There was so much that you did to make this holiday memorable and I appreciate every bit of it. Memories of the taylor swift concert that we went and the open fire campaign keep coming back in my mind and make me smile.

And I must tell you, your house is simply beautiful and you have kept it in a way that makes it more amazing to live in. I really loved your bedroom and the drawing room, especially because of the lovely candles and the perfect photos you have hung there. I think words will be less to describe how amazing the trip was and how much I am missing those times.

I have recieved the photos few days back and I am sending them along with this letter. I hope you will love them.

With love,
Anmol.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Madam,
I am sorry I have not written for so long. My work keeps me so busy, that I never have a minute to myself. I am writing to tell you about how fantastic the book was.

The book I am talking about is “the mocking bird by Harper lee”.I know it has been long since I took the book and I am really sorry for it. But the book was truly awesome. I remember re reading the entire book five times because of its lovely content. In some sense, the book was a true eye opener.

It shows in a very subtle manner the issues that people from backward classes or the minorities face. Even better it tries to bring to notice the fact that no matter what the big issues are prevailing there are still some people who are moved by the feeling of being human.

Ma’am I had read the entire book five months ago but then I got a call from the BBC to be a part of a new tv series covering the entire India. I was so very excited that I just forgot. It is only now that I have come back and saw the book lying on my desk. I am yet again sorry for the delay Ma’am and I hope you will understand my situation.
With love and many thanks from me.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Susan,

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, I was told recently that I am being transferred to Australia for three months for shooting the life of Australians. I cannot refuse it because it is my dream project. But don’t worry I have made the arrangements for your visit.

When you reach here, contact Anish, a good friend of mine on  4444556214. He has offered his help and will pick you up from the airport and you can then collect the keys from him. There are no major issues in the house and I have already paid the bills, so you don’t need to worry. The LPG comes every 10th of month in morning and the money and card for it are kept under cover of fridge. You can use the geaser but please make sure you switch it off after use or else electricity will shut down.

You will find the keys of car and bike on table when you reach there. Feel free to use them. If you have time you might enjoy the beach outside. There are night parties every Saturday. I hope you are happy with this arrangement, but if you need more help or information please let me know.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With love,

Anmol.
