One possible version

Dear John,

Glad to hear from you. I’d like to tell you something about the Qingming Festival.

The Qingming Festival is one of the twenty-four seasonal division points in China. It usually falls around April 5 every year. During this period, people will go to clean the graves and pay respect to their ancestors. At the same time, people can also go outing and enjoy the coming of spring, the bright and warm sunshine and the green trees and grass. It seems as if everything is back to life. People have been following the custom of spring outings since ancient times. Children love to fly kites high in the blue sky.

Now we can have a day off on this Chinese traditional festival. (106 words)
