Dear Faiz,
How are you and your family? I hope all of you are in good health. My parents their
regards to Uncle Zahid and Aunt Hana. I am writing to invite you and your far join us
for a picnic at Cherating Beach next month.
As you know, it’s been a while since we had a get-together. My mother misses A* Hana
so much. This picnic could be our family gathering and it is definitely a great up.
My mother will prepare some food for us. She will be making nasilemak, which knows is
your favourite, and I will prepare some egg sandwiches. It could be nice if Hana can
prepare same food as well.
I am sure you know that Cherating Beach is famous for its beauty. We can do sc beach
activities like swimming, building sand castles and collect beautiful shells on beach
while enjoying the clear waters and fine sand.
I hope you will consider this idea and tell your parents about it. Please let me know your
decision. Take care.
Your cousin,
Omar
