Dear Mr and Mrs Nicholas, I hope both of you are in good health and spirit, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our neighbourhood. I am also so glad and thankful to you because you have taken the trouble to extend me an invitation to join your party which you are planning to hold on next Saturday evening.
