Dear Hery,
Hi Hery, how is everything? I hope you are fine. I am well in these few days.
Her, I want to tell you about my holiday. I went to Mount Muria last holiday. I went to the Montel Waterfall. It was interesting. I took some picture there. I bought some souvenir for you.
I think that all. I am looking forward to hear from you.
