 fair will be held in the centre of Bath. Alternatively, if you're happy to pay more,
 Crescent is a wonderfully exclusive hotel which offers a huge range of facilities.
        As you probably know, the city of Bath is renowned for being a beautiful spa
 town and I would recommend a visit to the Roman baths. The town itself is very
 pretty and there are lots of quaint tea shops and old-fashioned pubs. If time allows,
 we would love to show you the surrounding countryside which stretches for miles
 across the Cotswolds and is one of the prettiest areas in Britain.
        Looking forward to seeing you soon,
              Regards,
              Tom

 Dear Mr Pritchard,
   I would like to invite you to our annual club meeting which will take place this
 year on 21st December. The meeting will be held in the club’s own banqueting
 suite at 8.00 p.m.
   This will be an occasion to express any new ideas about the club. It is a time to
 consider where improvements can be made in order to please our members. We
 will also discuss a change in the cost of yearly membership. As this effects you
 personally, your attendance at the meeting would be appreciated.
   After the meeting some light refreshments will be served.
   Please inform us whether you will be able to attend.
                               Yours sincerely,
                               Ronald Prescott
