范文：
　　Dear Bob,
　　How are you? I haven't seen you for a while. Hope all is well. Anyway, I'm writing because I'm inviting some friends over for dinner and I thought you might also like to join us.
　　亲爱的鲍勃：
　　你好吗?好久没有见到你了，希望你一切都好。我给你写信的原因是我要邀请一些朋友前来吃晚饭，所以想到你也许愿意一起来凑个热闹。
　　The dinner will be at my place, next Wednesday at 7 o'clock. Mary is doing the cooking, which I'm sure you'll be pleased to learn. I'll be taking care of the bar.
　　晚饭就在我这里吃，时间是下周三晚上7点。玛丽当厨，相信你会很高兴知道这一点的。我掌酒。
　　I've enclosed a map of how to get to our new apartment. It's a little out of the way, I'm afraid, but we've got a spare room and you're welcome to stay for the night if you wish. In fact, there's an exhibitionon at the museum, so we can go and take a look on Thursday. One request, though: bring your majiang with you so that we can play after dinner.
　　我随信附上了一张到我们新家来的地图。恐怕是有点偏，但我们有多余的房间，所以如果你愿意，欢迎你留下来过夜。事实上，在博物馆里有个展览，因此，我们周四可以一起去看看。但我有一个请求：把你们的麻将牌带来，这样我们可以在晚饭后玩几圈。
　　Anyway, do let me know if you can make it. My new number's at the top of the page, so you can give me a call sometime.
　　不管怎么样，如果你能来，请告知我一声。我的新号码就在这一页的上方，所以，你可以抽时间打个电话给我。
　　Take care and see you soon.
　　Ken
　　保重，希望很快就见到你。
