Hi Melvin,

It’s good to hear from you. Congratulations on your new job! What are your new colleagues like? I’m writing to tell you that I’m coming to Manchester again and I’d like to have a coffee with you, if you’re interested in meeting up.

I’ll be in town on Thursday next week. We could go to that café we went to last summer. Or maybe you have a new favourite place? Let me know what you decide. I promise to be on time!

Anyway, I have to go now. I’ve just finished cleaning the house and I’m going to cook dinner. Did I tell you that I’ve given up eating meat? I haven’t had any meat for six weeks now. Vegetarian food tastes great.

Best wishes,

David
