Dear Tom,

How are you? I hope everything is going well!

Do you remember my sister Anna? She is married with Marc and currently they are living in Vic. They are really happy there because they think it is a good city to raise a child.

I am writing you because she is pregnant and I am so happy that I want to tell everybody.

I hope you can visit me when the child is born and meet him or her.

Do not forget to send me a letter and tell me what you are doing right now. Are you still playing basketball in your highschool team? Are you winning many matches? I hope so!

I hope to see you soon

Regards,

Bárbara

- Your favourite team is interested in you.
