Answer

Dear Elkins,

I'm writing to tell you that I will go to your city for a ten-day self guided trip with my cousin during the coming summer vacation in celebration of my graduation from high school.

We are scheduled to reach Manchester on 20th July. Could you please pick us up at the airport as we have no idea of how to arrive at our hotel? Moreover, although we have surfed the Internet for not only some nice tourist attractions but also some do's and don'ts while visiting Manchester, we are still a little bit worried. I hope you can give us more advice about these things.

I would appreciate it if you could send me a reply as soon as possible.

Yours gratefully,

Li Hua
