Dear Sam and Peter, I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I am Nidhi, your next door neighbour, and I live in the apartment beside yours, with my husband and my pet cat and I am writing this letter to invite you both to join us for dinner next Sunday. To describe the house I live in, my living room is quite spacious and has a recliner sofa, on which we can relax and play some games to keep ourselves entertained. Furthermore, the kitchen is attached to the dining room, so it would make it easier for me to assemble the spread i have planned for dinner.You both have to try out my speciality, malai kofta with a side of naan paired with a mango lassi and finish off with "melt in your mouth" gulab jamuns. We also have an interesting display of some of the hand-painted artefacts that we got from India, and i would love to explain the significances behind those paintings. My home is quite cozy and comfortable, so I am sure that the both of you would have a good time.Looking forward to meeting the both of you next weekend. Warm regards, Nidhi

Dear Mr and Mrs Richard, I am Mrs. Westwick, I live in the apartment 204, which is adjacent to your's. I reside here with my husband and our two twin daughters. I am writing this letter to invite you, to join my family for dinner this Saturday. Last weekend we were at the countryside visiting my in-laws, therefore I missed making your acquaintance. I heard from a fellow resident in building that you too have a daughter, it would be excellent if our children can meet and bond over dinner. My family is eagerly looking forward to the National Baseball league that commences this Saturday at 7pm, it would be wonderful if you all could join us cheering for the team. After the games we can enjoy a hot supper, additionally we could give you the tour of our local park where the local musicians play their music over the weekend. I look forward to seeing you and your family. Warm Regards, Mrs.Westwick

I am Kate who is a native of Aylesbury and has been living in Aria 24 apartment from the past 4 years. Also, I am working with F&S Corporates from past 1 year and I live alone in my apartment. Moving forward with the details of apartment that I live in is that I own this apartment and it is a 2BHK with a terrace garden. To be more precise, as I stay alone I have a minimal setup with a sofa, TV and dinning table. I usually relax on sofa while enjoying TV on weekends as there is no enough time available during office hours. I want to invite you both for the dinner on this upcoming weekend at evening 7.30 pm, so that we can catch-up together to make our mood light with some add-on beverages. We can chat and spend time together with some soothing music so we can get along as we tend to cross paths more often. Hope to see you on this weekend. Best Wishes, Kate Hudson

Dear Zack, I am Ben and I live on the same floor of the Regency apartment as you are. That makes us immediate neighbours. We are a family of four with my two children, my wife Rose and myself. We have been living in this apartment for the past twelve year from now. My family and I was on a vacation last week which is why why we couldn't catch-up when you moved in. Firstly, as neighbors I would like to welcome to this peaceful apartment. Our house has the same layout as yours but facing the club house. We usually spend a good amount of time at the club house during the weekends along with our children and other residents. Weekend gathering is one of the main highlights of our apartment residents. I strongly recommend you should stop by next weekend at the club house to meet other residents of the apartment. Another reason I am writing this letter is to invite you and your family for lunch next Saturday. We and our families could get to know each other well. Let me know if if the day suits you well and a fun time. Regards, Ben

Dear ........, Being unaware of the situation that you recently shifted to the flat next to mine we didn't have any formal introduction as I was out of town for some reasons. I am Pratiksha Jadeja and I live in the flat adjacent to yours. To begin with my introduction, I work as a software developer and I have been in this city for last 10 years with my family. In my family we are 3 people, me and my parents and we relocated to this falt about 5 years ago. Since then I have never though of shifting to any other place as the apartments here are cozy and spacious with high security. Furthermore, in our entire floor there are about 4 apartments, my house is on right side of yours so do take care you don't get into the left one. As I love to be in a healthy relation with my neighbours I would like you to invite you for dinner at my place at about 8 pm.

Dear Mr and Mrs Sharma, I introduce myself as Dr Mehta,along with my wife I stay in the apartment opposite to yours on the same floor i.e no.501. We are glad that you have shifted here as we really missed friends on the floor. Unfortunately,when you shifted in,we were away on a short vacation which we had planned well in advance as we both are working professionals and seldom get an opportunity to spend time with each other.Thus,we could not meet you in person to welcome you. Nevertheless,I am taking this opportunity to invite you to my home for a delicious dinner. Please consider this letter as a personal invitation. My wife makes really great pasta and amazing cold coffee. I am sure not only you will love it but also enjoy it to the fullest extent of each of your taste buds. We welcome you warmly. I am sure,together we will forge a long lasting loving relationship. Yours lovely, Mr & Mrs Mehta
