Hello everyone!
I've written a letter to my English friend, but now I am a bit confused about the right order of the sentences.
Could you please help me with correcting it? I don't want my friend to think that I'm rude and unpolite
Here it is:
Dear Jan
1) I hope you are all well, and that you’ve recovered from the busy Christmas period.
2) I’m writing to ask you a favor. I’m coming down to London at the end of the month to go to a conference. 3) It’s the 22nd – 24th January. 4) Could you put me up for a few days? 5) I don’t mind where you put me. 6) I’ll sleep anywhere!
7) There is something else I’d like to ask you. 8) Could I have a bite to eat when I arrive? 9) Just a sandwich will do. 10) I hope that’s all right.
11) Write soon and let me know.
Best wishes
Maria
Is it okay to start a letter like that? Or should have I started it with a direct request (like in sentence 2)? And do you think it's correct to use sentence 10 in the end?
Thanks for your help!
