Subject: A new friend

Hi Sam,

Hope you're doing well! I wanted to tell you about something interesting that happened last weekend.

I actually met a new friend called Jamie. We met at a local basketball game near my house. I was sitting in the stands watching the match when Jamie sat down next to me. We started talking about the game and quickly realised we both support the same team.

Jamie seems really friendly and easy to talk to. We also discovered that we both enjoy playing sports and listening to similar kinds of music. It was nice meeting someone with so many things in common.

After the game finished, we decided to walk to a small café nearby and get something to drink. We spent about an hour chatting and getting to know each other better. By the end, we had exchanged numbers and said we should watch another game together sometime.

I think you would really like Jamie. Hopefully you can meet them when you visit!

Write back soon and tell me what you’ve been up to.

Take care,
Chris
