*Lucy has some exciting news for her friend Mary in Paris, France.

Dear Mary,

You’ll never guess what’s happened! I’ve won the lottery! Well, I didn’t win the first prize, but I won enough to treat myself to a holiday. Talk about surprised! I nearly fainted when I heard the news!

I’ve been a bit depressed and I’ve decided to take a holiday. There’s nothing to touch a holiday to cheer people up. I thought I might come and see you in Paris and perhaps stay with you for a couple of days. I’m hoping to come for a month, but most of the time I’d stay with my mother’s sister who lives just outside Paris.

Believe it or not, my boss has agreed to let me take a month off work, although I’ve not anywhere near that much holiday left to take this year. Of course, the extra time off is without pay, but I’m surprised he didn’t refuse to give me it. Wonders will never cease!

I’m hoping to come next month when I can still get a cheap flight. After that it’s peak season, and the fares are much more expensive. I wonder if you could perhaps get a few days’ holiday to act as my tourist guide. What about it? Please don’t worry if that’s not possible. We can always meet up in the evenings and leave my aunt to show me the sights.

Heaven knows when I’ll ever have enough money again to come over and so I hope my visit comes at a good time for you. If it doesn’t, please feel free to say so. I know that you’re often very busy at work. Let me know as soon as you can.

My mother has just had what she thought was a brilliant idea. She suggested I take my younger brother, Jack, with me! Fortunately, I managed to convince her this was just not possible. Fancy having to look after a teenage boy in a strange city!

I hope to hear from you – and see you – soon.

Love
Lucy.
