Dear Peter,

Besides, you can introduce a western festival, such as the Christmas Day, the New Year or the Thanksgiving Day, which must be not only meaningful but also interesting. What’s more, your article should be at least400 words. Finally, I hope you would be so kind as to send it to be before June 28th, so that it can be published in time.
③Hopefully, you could do me the favor.I have the confidence that everyone
will like your article. Thanks for reading my letter in such a hot summer.I’m
looking forward to your reply and your article.
