Dear Freddie,
How’s life? I’m writing to invite you to my Cup Final
get-together on Friday 24th May. Isn’t it a brilliant way
to watch the match?
I’m going to put the TV in my back garden, so hopefully
the weather will be OK. I’m just going to order some
pizzas and prepare some snacks. I’m not going to buy
any soft drinks or anything. You see, my mum is going
to make some lemonade. She’s going to make lots so we
don’t get thirsty. I’m thinking of playing football in the
garden, too. How about having a match after the Cup
Final? Won’t it be good fun?
Anyway, the match starts at 3pm. I really hope you can
come. If you can’t make it, write back and tell me.
Bye for now,
Gary
