Dear Mr Perez,

I was extremely grateful to receive your letter of the 23rd, informing me about your country. I would be most interested in visiting Mexico if I was given the opportunity.
You requested some information about my usual activities. With regard to my employment, I am currently a student pursuing a degree in electrical engineering. Moreover, I am employedon a part-time basis as a private tutor for youngchildren, which I find quite rewarding. During my Leisure time I typically read or meet acquaintances socially.
As to food, there is a great variety available in my country. There is a strong influence from Asian cuisine, such as Thai and Malaysian. If you were to visit I would be pleased to prepare one of my Thai stir-fries for you.
Finally, you enquired about the climate of my country. Most of the year it is extremely sunny and pleasant, although the heat can be excessive in summer. Winters are cool but never overly cold, and usually rainy.
I hope to hear from you soon with further information about Mexico.

Yours sincerely,
Susan Smith
