How are you getting on? I hope you and your family are doing fine. As for me, I am in the pink of health. I heard from my parents that your school holidays will start at the end of this month. I thought that it would be a wonderful idea for you to spend a few days with me here in Sitiawan. I hope that you can come. You will definitely have a fantastic holiday here as I will take you to Teluk Batik which is an ideal swimming spot. You can swim to your hearts content. Then I will take you on a boat tour around Pangkor Island. The boat will stop at designated places where you can buy souvenirs as well as our famous satay fish. Besides that, we can go hill climbing at Bukit Ungku Busu which is a popular hill for local and foreign trekkers. You will be sure to see monkeys and a variety of flora and fauna there. I will also take you shopping. There are many shopping centres that have mushroomed here. The prices are reasonable and in some places like the outdoor weekly markets, you can even bargain for lower prices.

I hope you will say Yes to my invitation. We can catch up on old times and have loads of fun in the meantime. Please convey my regards to your parents and brothers. Your cousin, ....................
