Dear Mary,
Thank you very much for giving me such a memorable time in Singapore. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had. I shall never forget the spectacular sight of your city I saw from Mount Fable that night.
The Roller-coaster ride, the stunts performed by the dolphins and the killer whale at the Sea World were also exciting. I shall remember the thrill, of having been on one of the longest rides, in the monorail, in Sentosa Island, for many years to come.
I have already missed the scrumptious dishes your mother had prepared because we over stayed in Sentosa. I also enjoyed various varieties of seafood at the makeshift roadside stalls at the Chinatown night market. Unfortunately, I didn’t eat the live snails! I couldn’t help but squirm at the sight of them! I also enjoyed our shopping trips. My family and friends agreed that the souvenirs were value for money, especially the silk scarves with pretty prints and the attractive key chains.
My family and I would like to invite you to Jakarta during next school vacation. I would love to introduce you to many sights, and taste of our multicultural heritage. With so much to see and enjoy in Jakarta, you will need to stay for at least a week. We look forward to seeing you.
Thank you once again for your hospitality and for making sure I had wonderful holiday. Please send my best wish to your parents.
Yours sincerely, Fatimah
