Dear [Zhang Ying]:
Will you come to luncheon on [Friday, May the fifth], at [twelve o’clock]?
My niece [Mary] is visiting us and I think you will enjoy meeting her. She is a charming, very pretty girl … and very good company! [John and Jane] will be here, and perhaps we can
[give a dance] after luncheon. Do say you’ll come!
Affectionately yours,
Li Ming
Dear [Mr. Harrison]:
Our new factory will be commencing production on [April 10] and we should like to invite
[you and your wife] to be present at a celebration to mark the occasion.
As you will appreciate this is an important milestone for this organization, and is the result of continued demand for our products, both at home and overseas. We are inviting all those individuals and trust that you will pay us the compliments of accepting.
Please confirm that you will be able to attend by advising us of your time —— we can
arrange for you to be met. All arrangements for your stay [overnight on April 10] will, of course, be made by us at our expense.
Yours faithfully,
Dear ,
and I have set the date — and we want you to be the first to know it. We’re going to be married very quietly at the Community Church on Thursday, June the twelfth, at noon.
We want you to come to the ceremony, and also to the wedding banquet afterward at home.
We’ll be looking for you, , at eleven!
With my best regards!
With Love,
NAME
