An informal letter

[Jamal]

Dear Ahmed,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Hassan and I have just discovered that we are relatives!

I am interested in the history of our family so I have started doing some research. I have found out that my grand father, Ali, came over to Bahrain in the 1920s after leaving Iran. He was the brother of your granddad "Ghloom".

Well here is some info a bout me. I live in Manama with my family. There are about fifty of us altogether here! Here is a picture of some of us. I am the first one to the left.

Anyway cousin "can I call you that?" can you do me a favor? Can you send me a photo of your family? It would be great if you could also send me any info about your folks back in our "old country".

I hope to hear from you soon.


Yours,
Hassan
