Dear Wilson.
How are you getting on these days?Our school plans
to set up a Reading English Classic Group,and we'd like
to invite you to join us.
Reading English classics is a good way to know about
the culture of western countries.The group will gather at 4
p.m.every Friday afternoon,and the activity will last one
hour.Being a native speaker,you must have a better
understanding of English classics.We'll appreciate it if you
can give us some guidance.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
