Dear Yosep
I have received your letter and am writing at once because I couldn’t come to your
party. This Friday I’m going to visit my cousin who lives in Biak. I’ll be there till Tuesday so
I can’t come to your party this weekend. However I’m inviting you to visit me next
Friday.
Last week I had school holidays. I like holidays very much because then I don’t have
to go to school and I can sleep as long as I want. I spent most to looking forward to
see you next week.
See you soon,
Orpa
