Объяснение:

Dear

How are you? I hope everything is fine. Do you remember the competition that you wanted to go with me last week, but couldn't because of some family problems. So did you watch it on TV? If no, then I have amazing news for both of us. I got 2 tickets to the movie that we always wanted to go. it is unbelievable, I know that you are a big fan of this movie, I think you can guess which movie it is even now. However there is one problem, we should go there after 5 days. I am not sure that you can reach here on time. I wrote this letter in advance, because you are not responding to my messages in social media. I am really worried about it and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

See you,
