A. Suggested answer

Subject: Bon voyage!

Dear Lester,
I am sorry I missed you this afternoon when I came by the office, I realize you will leave for
your trip to Japan this evening. I was really hoping to catch you to wish you a wonderful
trip! Your secretary said you'll be gone for at least two weeks and will be traveling to
several different cities. I hope you have a chance to see and do many interesting things
while there. Be sure to take lots of pictures to share with us when you get back. I can't
wait to hear about your adventures!
Best regards!
Carol Perry

Dear Elaine,
I just heard the news from Glenda that Alex has asked you to marry him. She didn't go
into detail about how he proposed, but I got the drift that it was very romantic. I am so
excited for you both! You are such a cute couple, and I can't imagine anyone who
deserves as much happiness as the two of you! Congratulations! Do you have a date yet?
I am sure you have tons of plans to make for the wedding. Please let me know if there is
anything I can help with. I am just thrilled for you!
With love,
Patty
