Band 8 IELTS letter sample

Dear Riya,

I’m writing this letter to let you know that we have to change our holiday plan. Actually, I was very excited about meeting you along with our other friends after a long time. I was eagerly waiting for that day to relive the memories of our college days.

As planned, I was about to book a resort in Ooty. However, just yesterday I heard news that land slides had occurred in a few areas of Coonoor and Ooty due to heavy rainfall. At this time, I think it is not advisable to travel as it is a hill station. Also there is a chance that we could get stuck in the rain. I knew that there would be mild showers during the month of September but this time the rain is heavier than normal.

I don’t want to cancel the trip. How about visiting Kerala? As you know, it has many exotic places and spectacular beaches to see and enjoy ourselves. Let me know your thoughts after discussing this with our friends.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Usha
