Sample 1

Dear Dad,

I’ve looked at several possible places where we can go on holiday and checked Mum’s schedule. We think we should go to Shandong Province because none of us have ever been there before . If we go, we’ll have an active holiday climbing Mount Taishan.Even though there will not be any river cruises, Mum can explore famous lakes and springs in Ji’nan.We can also visit Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius.I think she’d like this.We can travel in Mary, between the 1st and 7th. The trip lasts 4 days and 3 nights. It costs only 1,200 yuan per person, so Mum will be pleased with that.

I think this trip sounds very exciting and it sounds just like what you and Mum want. Let me know if I should book it.

　 Bye for now.

　 Love

Sample 2

Dear Dad,

I’ve looked at several possible places where we can go on holiday and checked Mum’s schedule. We think we should go to South Island in New Zealand because none of us has ever been there before. If we go there, we can have an active holiday. We can trek through the bush and walk along the beach. And we can go on a river cruise. This is what Mum wants to do. Also we can have a traditional Maori dinner there.　

We can travel in May, between the 1st and the 7th.The trip lasts 5 days and 4 nights. It costs 7,000 yuan per person. But Mum only wants to spend 3,000 yuan for each. Anyhow, I think this trip sounds very exciting and is just like what you and Mum want! Let me know if I should book it.

Love
