Dear Priya, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to invite you and Mr. Joshi for dinner at my home. Let me introduce my self. My name is Hirna and I live on the same floor as yours, just 2 doors away from your apartment. My flat no is B-201. Moreover, I live with my husband and a 3 years old daughter. We moved here in 2019 when my husband got a transfer in his job and since then, we have been living here. We have the same apartment with 2 bedrooms with a specious hall along with a balcony and a small kitchen with a store room. Although I do not have much equipments, that is why it feels like a big apartment. In addition, when you moved in here, I was out of town and that is why I want to invite you and Mr. Joshi for a nice dinner on this Sunday at my home, so we can get a chance to know each other. Look forward to your reply and see you on Sunday. Kind regards, Hirna.
