Dear Dr. Brown,


I am the chairman of the 2016 Metropolitan Medical Conference that is being held this year in Miami, Florida on July 5, 2016. I write to invite you to present your groundbreaking research on beta blockers with our conference participants and invited guests. A 30-minute discussion of your work along with a 20-minute question and answer session would add so much to the intellectual landscape of our annual medical conference. 


The Metropolitan Medical Association would be pleased to cover your travel and lodging expenses while you visit the conference, in addition to providing a per diem budget during your stay.
  
Please reply with your answer as soon as you are able so that we may begin making arrangements. I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns.


Kind regards,




Dr. Michael Smith

Dear Grandma,


How are you? I was really happy to see you and Grandpa at my graduation ceremony, and I hope you’re recovering from your cold.


Do you think it would be okay if I stopped by to visit you on Saturday? I’d really like to show you my new puppy. I think you’ll adore her. Her name is Sassy, and I got her last week. And she’s your favorite breed: a golden lab, just like Satchmo!


I’m excited to come see you soon. Let me know if Saturday will work for you.


Love,


Olivia

Letter From Female to Male :

Hiya, Matt!


Wow! Your last letter was packed with so much exciting news! I’m glad to hear that you got the job. I know how badly you wanted it. Didn’t I tell you that the interview couldn’t have been as bad as you were trying to make it sound? And I’m also glad to hear about the new girl in your life. I’ll certainly be wishing you well on that one, too.


Things here are fine. Well, hectic, but fine. I think I may have taken on too many classes this semester. Who in their right mind takes a on a full load of grad school classes while trying to balance a 30 hour/week job? (And if you answered, “Amy,” you’re wrong; I said “who in their right mind,” and I am clearly not in my right mind.) Coincidentally, that’s why my reply to your last letter is so late this time. Of course, as always, every major project is due all at once, which leaves very little time for things like staying in touch with friends or having fun...or, you know, eating or sleeping. On the plus side, I have rediscovered my love of coffee.


It doesn’t help that the neighbors in the apartment above mine are just about the most obnoxious, noisy people ever. It’s a group of three guys—undergrads from the look of it—who are up partying and stomping around until 4 am on a daily basis. It got so bad that last week, my roomie stormed up there and gave them all a scolding of a lifetime. Erika! The quietest, sweetest girl I’ve ever met. She was up there a good half hour. I was about to offer her my assistance when I saw a girl bolting down from their apartment (one of their girlfriends, I imagine), practically in tears, followed shortly after by my victorious roommate. Surprisingly, the boys have been quiet ever since.


Anyway, that sums up the excitement in my life. Back to books!

Letter From Male to Female :

Hey there, Amy!


So you know that job interview I mentioned last time? The really important one that I was sure I messed up at? Well, guess what? I actually got the job. Hoorah! I guess I didn’t stumble over my answers as much as I thought I did. Either that or they just didn’t care. At any rate, my first day of work is two weeks from now. Plenty of time to prepare. Actually, if you ask me, the next couple of weeks won’t be able to pass quickly enough.


In the meantime, I’ve just been hanging out with some of my friends here. A few old buddies and I went to catch a game the other day. I know you’re not into football, so I won’t bore you with any of the details. Besides, my team lost, so I’m not sure I really want to remember the details, anyway. But afterwards, we went out for a bite at a bar & grill downtown—a real swanky place called “The Red Ruby” that just opened up last month. (We should go the next time you’re in town for a visit. It’s a little on the pricey side, but the food there was worth it.) 


That brings me to my next piece of exciting news: I met a girl at the bar. A real beauty, too. Her name is Emily, but goes by Millie. We got to talking for a bit, and I found out that she majored in History Education at the University of Washington around the same time we were both at the University of Wyoming. She said she had a lot of friends at our college, though, and she’d even been to visit a few times. Small world, hmm? To think the two of us would meet up on the other side of the country in some unknown bar. Anyway, we really hit it off. I got her number, and she and I are going out this Saturday.


Other than that, not much has changed in my life. But maybe all of that is plenty...


Talk to you later!


Matt
