Model answer:

Dear David,

I hope you are doing great. I am so excited to be your pen pal and writing my first letter
to introduce myself. I hope you will write to me someday as I would like to know more
about you.

As you already know I live in Manila, the capital of the Philippines and a bayside city on
the island of Luzon, which mixes Spanish colonial architecture with modern skyscrapers.
It is a lively city with more than 1.8 million population.

Regarding my education, I have completed my graduation from the University of Santo


Tomas, Manila and my major was Bachelor of Business Administration. I finished my
MBA at the University of the East in 2015 and soon after that, I started working for
Ayala Corporation - one of the largest holding companies in the Philippines. I am now a
senior executive in this company.

I was so excited to know that you maintain a blog as I also do it. You can visit my
personal blog at www.daniel-francis.wordpress.com. Besides, I am a volunteer for a
charity organisation that works for the destitute and less privileged population in our
city. I am so surprised that you also like travelling as it is my passion to be able to visit
different parts of the world.

I would like to thank you for inviting me to the UK. I am sure I will someday visit you
and explore this great country.

Take care and write me back when time allows you to do so.

Warm wishes,

Daniel Francis
Sample Answer 2:
Dear John,

I am Raj from Delhi, India, writing to introduce myself. As a pen pal, I


want to let you know more about me. I would like to thank you for
your letter and it was nice knowing so many things about you. I must
say, you have a great way of writing.

We both share many common interests and hobbies and it is indeed a


great surprise. The subjects that we had opted in for our respective
college and university education were coincidentally common. As a
matter of fact, it is due to this reason both of our employment sector
and job responsibilities are strikingly similar. Ironically, the respective
companies in which we both are employed are archrivals in the
industry of Finance and Banking.

I would like to update you about some of the recent events. I have
lately joined yoga and meditation classes. However, I still do not miss
my age-old hobby of swimming. It is hard to recollect even a single
day, barring the weekly off, when I miss a dip in the swimming pool.
Apart from this, my weekends are generally devoted to spending time
strictly with my family. The overall credit for my health, however,
goes to the one and a half session of yoga classes in the morning.

Thank you for inviting me to visit your city. I will certainly try to come
and meet you. Let us catch up in the coming December and till then
take care and keep in touch.

Warm wishes,

Neeraj Mehra
