I am doing well. I hope this letter finds you well. I just wanted to share my pleasant experiences with you, so that you could come to Bengal next time. This year's vacation is so lit due to the colour of festival, Holi. I have enjoyed my vacations thoroughly. All my cousins and other relatives came to my home and I was very much happy to see them after a long time. Our family celebrated the Holi joyfully. We all take the photos together and we ate so many colourful and delighted sweets. You should come to Bengal once during this festival.
I'll wait for your response and I hope you could come.
Your dearest friend
Rimi
