Read the email carefully and check out any vocabulary you don’t know.
Dear Jim,
I want to thank you again for your recent hospitality. It was really
generous of you to invite Barbara and me to stay with you for a few
days in your house in Nice. We had a wonderful time. The weather was
great, the beaches were fabulous and your infinity swimming pool is
sensational. I have never had such fabulous meals in my entire life.
However, what made the trip so wonderful was the way you looked after
us. You and Sally make the ideal hosts. You are both warm and witty
and tremendous fun to be with. I cannot thank you enough.
I’ve been thinking over the suggestions you made about ways in which
our companies can work more closely together. I can see a lot of sense
in what you said, particularly at a time of economic difficulty. Why
don’t we arrange a meeting of our senior people?
Once again, thank you.
John
