Dear Lan,
As the Vietnamese Women’s Day is
coming. I’m giving a farewell party at my
place at 6 p.m this coming Sunday.
Would you like to come? I intend to
invite most of our classmates, so it will
be a big gathering and hopefully, we can
socialize more easily. I will order some
fruit and buy snacks. There will be
dancing and karaoke competition. So,
there will be a lot of fun.
Pleas let me know if you are keen by
Saturday.
See you.
