Dear Friend,

I am sorry I didn't write to you for so long but I am very busy since the summer. Thank you for your recent letter, which I received on Monday. I would like to tell you some very good news. I am coming to Canada next month. I will be travelling around with a group of students as part of an exchange programme. We will be there nearly three weeks and will spend some time in all the major cities, including Ottawa. Would it be convenient if I visited you and your family? My friend Thomas and I went out dancing last Saturday night. We had a very good time. You would have enjoyed it too. Did you go out much lately?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Xavier
