SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Yuki,

Hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter in order to ask for a favour from you. Actually, I need the recipe for Japanese Ramen Noodle Soup from you since I am going to throw a party soon.

Of course, this is going to be a very special party since all of my high school friends are going to get together and have a good time while talking about our works and achievements in life for the first time after finishing high school.

Anyway, the reason, for which, I am asking for this recipe is that I fell in love with this particular soup after eating it at one of the upscale Japanese restaurants in my country. So, I thought that it just would be a great idea to introduce this awesome and delicious dish, instead of only those food items which we enjoy on a regular basis, to all of my friends at the party, so that I could impress them with my new idea.

Please get back to me with the recipe of this awesome soup once you read this letter.

Warm wishes,

Adam
