Example Letter

Dear Ann and David.

We're writing to invite you to our house-warming party on May 26th. Our new house is wonderful; it’s a semi-detached town house with three bedrooms and a small back garden. The kitchen is huge, and is fitted with wooden cupboards that make you feel as if you are in a country kitchen. All three bedrooms are rather small but very cosy. The living room is quite big and has lovely French windows which open onto a terrace.
You shouldn't have too much trouble finding the house, but here are a few directions so you don’t get lost. Take the A27 road for Lewes and turn right at the roundabout where there is a signpost for Hawkstead. Drive through the town until you get to the post office, then turn left into Potter’s Lane. Our house is number 23, on the right-hand side.
We hope you’ll be able to make it to our party. Looking forward to seeing you then.

Love,
Bill and Laura
