1. Pretend you are inviting a friend, who lives sixty miles away, to a weekend in the mountains with your family.
2. If your friend accepts, explain that your family will pick him or her up on the way to the mountains; tell him or her also what to bring, such as a sleeping bag and warm clothing.
3. State the day, date, and time of arrival at your friend's house and the day, date, and time of return.
4. Be specific about where you will spend the weekend and what you will do.

Personal Letter #3. Write a thank-you letter. The subject of your thank-you letter can be the sweater your grandmother gave you, or any other gift and giver of your choice.
