A letter To Mr. Cattanzara

Dear Mr. Cattanzara,

Hi, how are you? You wouldn't believe what happen to me all those years.

Thanks to you I read the books and even enjoyed them. Now I am a successful businessman and I own a technology company. I have a beautiful wife and two children, we live happily in Los Angles.  Fortunately, I have a big house with a pool and a new Porsche.

My father and I got closer and we even work together. Sophie became a lawyer and she is about to get married with a well known doctor.

I think about you every day and I will never forget you. I achieved a lot in my life and it is because of you, the man how always believed in me when I didn't.

I would like to invite you to Sophie's wedding next week at the Hilton Hotel, in New York. After the wedding you should come and stay in my house for the weekend.

Yours,

George.

Very good work.
