Dear David, I hope you are doing great. I am so excited to be your pen pal and writing my first letter to introduce myself. I hope you will write to me someday as I would like to know more about you. As you already know I live in Manila, the capital of the Philippines and a bayside city on the island of Luzon, which mixes Spanish colonial architecture with modern skyscrapers. It is a lively city with more than 1. 8 million population. Regarding my education, I have completed my graduation from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila and my major was Bachelor of Business Administration. I finished my MBA at the University of the East in 2015 and soon after that, I started working for Ayala Corporation - one of the largest holding companies in the Philippines. I am now a senior executive in this company. I was so excited to know that you maintain a blog as I also do it. You can visit my personal blog at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Besides, I am a volunteer for a charity organisation that works for the destitute and less privileged population in our city. I am so surprised that you also like travelling as it is my passion to be able to visit different parts of the world. I would like to thank you for inviting me to the UK. I am sure I will someday visit you and explore this great country. Take care and write me back when time allows you to do so. Warm wishes, Daniel Francis
