Hey Annie!

I'm writing you to thank you for invinting me to come to London at Easter and to tell you that I can't come :/

I think you had a great idea: from morning to noon we could go to museums and to iconic places and then, from afternoon to the end of the day, we could enjoy going shopping and you could show me the city's most attractive spots.

But, and I'm really sorry for that, I can't spend my next holiday with you. I'd LOVE to come! But I'm also REALLY busy :( I have to do a lot of homework (essays, book reviews...) and my parents want me to help at home (you know; wall-painting, fence-arranging...). Also, if I have spare time, I'd like to go camping with some friends.

Well, remember that in summer we'll have plenty of time, and I'll be able to stay with you more days and maybe then London won't be cloudy and rainy as always. Wouldn't that be perfect? Because I miss you so much...! :'( We haven't seen each other since you came last Christmas...

Oh! My sister's getting married next month =D, and we'd like to invite you and your parents to come to the wedding. Tell me ASAP if you're coming, please!

Looking forward to your reply! ^_^

Luv you <3,

Paula
