Dear Hoa,
I am writing to invite you to our family party to celebrate my parents' golden jubilee wedding anniversary. It is on the 22nd of May at our house.
As this is my parents' 20th wedding anniversary, I decided to celebrate it with all our dear ones. I have planned to invite all my parent's colleagues and friends to cherish their young days' memories. Also, I have organised a couple of dances for all the people. Since you are a talented guitarist, I'd like you to play a melody for my parents. It will be a great surprise for them.
It will be a great time to introduce you to my whole family. They have heard a lot about you, as I always talk about fun activities we do together. They will be happy to meet you.
Hope to see you soon.
Warm Regards,
Linh
