Dear Jacob, It was indeed a great pleasure to receive your letter and to learn that you have a new job. I still cherish our friendship and can never forget the splendid time we had together in a vibrant city like Milan. I'm so thrilled to be invited to visit you in Seattle in the United States which I'm looking forward to very much. As I've never been to the United States and have little idea about the weather and culture there, I would really appreciate your suggestions and tips. I would like to bring some gifts for you and your family and wondering what might be appropriate! Could you please help me with this? I've applied for the visa and I am expecting to travel to the USA sometime during the next month. What is the weather like at this time of the year and what type of dresses would be suitable? I am not sure about the activities you have in mind for me and some suggestions would be great. As you know I am a vegan and I hope this would not be a problem while I am there. Also, I would not mind experimenting with some local food and would be ready to enjoy some fun activities. Can't wait to meet you. Stay fine and take care. Warm wishes, Nick
