Informal Letter Giving Information

You have received a letter from an English friend.

My manager has asked me to organise a fun run for everyone at work and I remember you doing the same thing last year. You couldn't give me some help, could you?
I'd like to know what kind of event it was, what went well and what didn't. Where do you think we should have the fun run?
Best wishes,
Alan

Hi Alan!

What's up? I'm so sorry for writing you this letter so late but I have no free time. As you know, I'm preparing for my C1 certificate and practising for my drivers licence. How can people say this is easy?

Anyhow, I hope it is not be too late to pass on some useful tips for the fun run. But more about than later! Listen, seldom do people want to participate in that kind of event, so it is necessary to give them a little push. In my case, I used attractive awards like free lunch for a week, free parking for a week too and a check for an amount of 300£. The majority of the company participated in the fun run!

Nevertheless, the path that I planned to move through was extremely difficult, with pretty changes and ramps. It was completely dangerous and risky and everybody arrived at the finish completely exhausted and almost dehydrated. Furthermore, a colleague suffered a terrible fall and she tore  a ligament in one of her arms and also had a hairline fracture in one of her knees.

Taking all of this into account I would recommend you doing the fun run at a place with an easy way to move through and there would be some emergency personal, just in case someone had an accident. It is prevention that is the better cure. I bet your fun run will have a great success, so let your hair down! Don't forget to write and tell me how it went.

Best wishes and good luck!

Esther
