Dear Mr Ethan, Hope you are doing great. I am Pollard Jeremy, a maternal cousin of Gill from Canada and have heard a lot about you from him.
Dear Mr Rudy, Hope this letter doesn’t come to you as a surprise since we have never met before. Actually, I am a cousin of Alex Turner, who is a friend of yours, and he suggested me that I should write to you and ask for some information from you before visiting "Athens" where you are currently living in.
