Dear Sara,<br />
I’ve received your letter, and I’m looking forward to your visit.<br />
We’ll be happy to meet you. My mother has cleaned the extra<br />
bedroom. We’ve made everything ready for you. We’ve called<br />
your uncle already. He’s very nice. We’ve asked you both to<br />
come for dinner. We hope you’ll stay for a long visit.<br />
Yours,<br />
Roberto<br />
