Dear Misha,

Thanks a lot for your letter! I was very happy to get it. I still can’t forget the summer holiday I spent together with your family. I hope your parents feel well and everything is OK.

I would like to invite you to spend Christmas holiday with me and my family. What do you think of this idea? What would you like to do on Christmas? What events would you like to visit?

I can’t wait to get your answer.

See you soon I hope.

Take care,

James
