Dear Lan,
Thank you very much for a teddy bear you sent me on my birthday. It was very nice, lovely and I really liked it.
I have just finished my final exam, so I am free now. I think it might be nice to go on a picnic for the weekends. Will you go with me? We will go to Ninh Kieu Park on Sunday afternoon. I hope you’ll join me.
