Dear Aman,

I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and high spirits. How are your parents? I am doing great here, and my final exams just got over yesterday. I am so relieved!

I am writing this letter to invite you to Bengaluru to spend a part of your summer vacation with me. It has been over a year since we last met, and I have planned so many exciting things for us. We can visit the famous Cubbon Park, the Visvesvaraya Museum, and go trekking at Nandi Hills early in the morning. My mother has also promised to cook all your favorite dishes, especially the biryani you love so much.

The weather here is very pleasant right now. Please ask your parents for permission and let me know your travel dates so I can book your tickets in advance.

Give my warm regards to uncle and aunt, and lots of love to your little sister.

Yours lovingly, Rahul
