Dear Apurva,

Subject- Iinvitation her for the Felicitation Function

I am sorry I couldn’t write to you for a long time. I had my fifth semester examination, so I couldn’t spare time. Only today I have finished my exams.From today we would be busy in making arrangements for our Felicitation Function. Being an autonomous college, this is our third year function. I would be receiving silver medal for having secured 2nd rank in the past examination. As I know, our parents cannot come owing to mother’s ill-health. I would be happy, atleast if you could attend the function and be with me for sometime.

His Highness, the Governor of Uttar Pradesh will give away the medals to the best students selected in the gala function.I will make arrangements for your accommodation.Expecting an early and favourable reply.

Yours lovingly
Kirti
