Dear Grandpa,

How are you grandpa? I was really happy to see you and Grandma at my graduation ceremony, and I
hope you’re recovering from your high blood pressure soon.

Do you mind if I visit you on Saturday? I’d really like to show you my new cat. I think you’ll adore her.
Her name is Susan, and I got her last week. For your information, she’s your favorite breed: an angora
cat, just like Soho!

I’m excited to come and to see you soon. Let me know if Saturday will be ok for my coming.
Love,

Onavia
