You have won a holiday to Hawaii with one extra ticket.

Write a letter to someone to invite them along with you. In the letter:
- Explain what has happened and that you would like them to come
- Give details of when the trip will take place
- Inform the person of the things they will need for the trip

Dear Nicola,

You will never guess what has happened so I’ll just tell you; I’ve won a trip to Hawaii, and it’s for two people. I’ve decided to take you.

I entered a stupid competition in some magazine and completely forgot about it, and today I received a phone call to let me know that the holiday for two was mine. Of course, you were the first person to come to mind.

I simply won’t take no for an answer, so make sure that you have the 15th to the 25th of March 2018 free. Book it off work now to make sure that it’s allowed, and send me your passport information so I can register our names on the tickets.

I reckon we will need to go on a brief shopping trip when you get back from Brussels so that we are fully prepared for the beaches and our quiet hillside cabin.

Email me as soon as you can!

Your mate,
Malcolm
