Dear Chris,

Thanks for your letter. I’m sorry I haven’t answered it sooner but writing is difficult at the moment. I fell off my bike last week and broke my arm. It isn’t anything very serious and I’ll be OK in a few weeks.

Your holiday sounds fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Some one at work went to Jamaica last year and had a wonderful time. When are you going exactly I hope you’ll have good weather.

There isn’t really much more news from here. I’ll write a longer letter in a few weeks. Send me a postcard and give my regards to everyone.

Yours,

Kim
