Hi Sam!
Well I got your letter that is really cool to know that you're visiting our town. So then we can visit many places such as parks and shopping malls. Don't worry about not knowing anyone here. People in our town are very kind and helpful. They'd definitely help you for whatever you need. And I 'm here to help you too. When you're here we'll visit "Mozo Mall".That is the biggest mall in our town.We also can go to the Rose Park it's an amazing park.And there are some restaurants that we can eat at reasonable charges. So let's meet in Zara's cafe in the first day by 11.30 a.m. Please let me know if you wanna know about anythings.
Cheers!

From - Sesali GunarathneHi Sam ! It's good to hear that you are visiting our home town. It will be a great experience for you. Yes ,sure I can meet you up next Saturday. You can have a lot of fun here . Since we have a lot of amusement parks , cinema halls, shopping centres and gaming centres too. In our town we have some popular restaurants. You don't have to worry about the prices of food because all the restaurants have the best quality food at reasonable prices. And in my opinion not only food all the other things such as groceries , stationaries and clothes are also not expensive. If you wish I can help you with shopping. And when you arrived here just text me and let me know your location and I'll be there soon. Looking forward to see you soon.

Hi Sam,
I am very sorry about not being able to come to your party.I had a bad headache then. I'm feeling much better now. Although I was looking forward to it. I hope everyone else had a good time. By the way, why not meet me next weekend instead? We can meet at the cafe near the library and then we can have a walk in the nearby park too. And if you like, we can also go to the new shop near the cafe. They have many good things. And I also want to hand over your birthday gift. So, what do you think about it? Write back to me. Bye for now and happy belated birthday!

To - SamDear Sam,
I’m very sorry for not coming to your birthday party yesterday! I couldn’t come ‘cause I had a high fever and cough. ( I coughed continuously, and I couldn’t even breathe! ) I feel so sad and guilty for not coming, bro! Dude, can you come to my house so that we can drop into a hotel? I really wanna give you my present! Please say that you can! Hope you can come!
Cheers,
