Subject: Request to Lend a Book for a Week
Dear Rima,
Take my love and affection. I hope you are hale and hearty by the grace of God. I’m also well by his blessings. In your last letter you had told me that I could borrow any book from you, since you have an extensive and well-stocked family library. So, today I want to ask you about a book that I really need for a school assignment that carries a lot of marks. I really hope that you have it so that you can lend it to me.
As you know, our teachers at school try to give us as many interesting and interactive assignments as possible. So this time for our literature assignment, our teacher has told us to read out our favourite excerpts from a classic book in class. For this we need a physical copy of the book since we are not allowed to bring electronic devices to class.
However, recently it has been very hard to find physical copies of many books due to the entry of e-books into the market. Physical copies of books have become extremely rare and overpriced as a result. The book I have chosen is Far From The Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. However, I have not been able to find a hardcopy of this book and had to read it online. So, I really hope that you have it, and that you can lend it to me for my assignment.
That’s all for today. Take care of your health and write to me whenever you have some time! I hope we can meet up soon!
Regards,
Leela D
