GT Letter Band 9 Sample

Dear Kate,


Hope this mail finds you well. I am writing the letter to express my appreciation for the traveling book that I borrowed from you few months ago.


As you know, I went to Cairns during Easter public holiday with my colleagues. The reason for going there was that they held a farewell party for my final year as an expat in Australia. To me, it was a standout event in my life. We had some finger licking dishes cooked by a celebrity French chef and drinks forgetting the limit. The most unforgettable experience of the whole trip was the hot air balloon.


However, things could easily go wrong without the super tour guidebook that you lent me. The book helped us a lot in many aspects, such as choosing the cruises, planning the itineraries, finding the budget hotels, and booking the local favourite café. In addition, it recommended us for some fantastic alternatives while raining. During the vacation, since our Great Barrier Reef cruise postponed due to the bad weather, we followed the suggestion from the book to Kuranda rainforest as a backup plan.


I returned to Sydney last weekend and brought some Kuranda organic rainforest coffee beans to share with you. Hopefully, I will leave these fresh roasted beans and the guide book to your apartment concierge tomorrow afternoon. Please, make sure you receive these items after work. Also, let me know when you are available to catch up.


Thank you.


With best wishes,


Pam
