Dear Andy,
I'm going to have a camping party for my birthday, and I hope you can make it. I'll be setting up tents in my backyard for everyone who comes. Just so you know, Alison, Greg, and Susan will also be there.
If you do come, could you bring that big flashlight that your dad gave you? I don't have one, and we'll need something to help us see in the dark. Don't worry about bringing food, though. My mom is going to prepare hot dogs and soda.
Please let me know if you'll be joining us. It's going to be really fun!
Your friend,
Jimmy
