Subject : My friend Danny

Dear Danny,

Thanks for the email. Glad to know that you and your
family are coming to Malaysia for your holidays. Just can’t wait
to see you and show you my country.

Yes, what you have read about Pulau Sipadan and Taman
Negara are true, beautiful corals and marine caves, the oldest
tropical rainforest in the world. I have an idea! My uncle lives in
Sabah. We’ll visit Pulau Sipadan when you are here. Taman
Negara is a few hours drive from my place. We can go there
too.

Now, what else can I show you? Yes, Kuala Lumpur, our
capital city! Here, you can find people of different races. They
have their own culture and traditions and practice different
religions. All live together in harmony. You will see for yourself
how we work and live together.

Another interesting thing about Malaysia is our food. We

have many types of food from the different races. I am sure
you will enjoy trying out the different Malaysian dishes.

You know something. I am so excited to show Malaysia to

you. Yes, our weather is hot but it rains sometimes. Bring along
comfortable clothes, shoes and a hat.

Hope to see you and your family soon.

Bye and warm regards,

Adam
