Dear Ahmed,
I was very glad to receive your present. It was very nice and interesting. I
was very delighted and I would like to thank you so much. It pleased all the family,
especially, Eva.
She was attracted to the book about the Arabs during the Golden Age. It was
very interesting. Arabs were generous and very hospitable. They were serious, strict and
sincere. They liked helping the others. That's why Eva was fascinated by their character.
I am waiting to hear from you soon,
Yours,
Peter.
