【正确答案】Dear Tom,
How time flies ! We haven't seen each other for almost half a year. How are you recently? I hope everything goes well.
I'm writing to invite you to come to my riverside cottage for a weekend with my family. You have been here once and you must still remember the amazing environment, right? I' m sure that the country air will do you good and make you energetic. You can catch a train after work on Friday. And do tell me the time of your arrival in advance. Then I can meet you at the station.
Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
XXX
