Dear Albert,
I’m delighted you are coming to Singapore next month. I think it would be great you could stay with me and my family, send you their best wishes. Otherwise, if you prefer, I can easily book you a cheap but comfortable hotel near the beach you can be more independent.
There are lots of things to do in my city. If I were you, I’d spend some days on the beach relaxing one or two days sightseeing in the city. There are several interesting museums and temples I’m sure you will enjoy. One place you really should visit is an excellent theme park called Sentosa, you’ll want to spend the whole day. Also, you ought to go to our excellent night safari, is about an hour away by bus.
You don’t need to bring a lot of clothes

Please let me know exactly

I can meet you at the airport. It’ll be great to see you again so we can get up-to-date
with all our news!

Monica
