You should write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write your own address.
Begin your letter as follows: Dear __________
Dear Rashid
It was great to hear from you and Im really glad that things are working out for you down under. It sounds as if you have landed on your feet!
Many thanks for your kind invitation to come and stay with you and Maybeline in Perth, but Im going to have to turn you down this time. The problem is that Im just too busy studying for my IELTS exam and I dont have enough time in the day as it is. Perhaps I can take you up on your offer sometime next year, when I hope that Ill have got that magic band score 8.0.
My other news is that Acme have offered me a promotion and soon I should be the senior accounts manager. Obviously that means more money but the downside is that Im almost certainly going to have to work much longer hours too. Theres a cloud to every silver lining!
Anyway, I must get down to work again. So thanks once more for your kind invitation and I do hope that we can get together sometime in the not too distant future.
