Dear Rahim, 

 If you haven’t had any plan for the coming vacation, why don’t you visit our Village? It is a beautiful village beside a river. It would be a pleasant relief from the dust, smoke and loud noises of the city. Here is no crowd, no maddening din so hurry nor any terror of traffic. It is a place of peace.

Here you have an open vies of the village, gentle breeze over the waving green fields and the rippling of the river. Here you hear various birds singing sweetly in the trees. You are beneath the clear blue sky, very close to the sounds and sights of nature. You find here calmness and happiness on the faces of the people. Do come and enjoy.

 Please let me know the date when you are coming. I shall receive you at the station. Tell, you are willing.

Yours ever,

Sumon
