Subject: Dinner invitation

Dear Hanna,
I would like to invite you for a meal on Wednesday at 7.30 p.m.
The restaurant is really good. It’s called the Kerala Sands and it serves a variety of
South Indian dishes. They have vegetable curries and some delicious desserts.
It’s about five miles from the city centre. We can go by taxi.
I hope you can come.
Best wishes,
Zoe
