Dear Sameer,

I hope you and everyone at home are well. I am writing to invite you to join me in a fine event — the ‘Pedal for a Green City’ Cycle Rally 2026, organised by the Green Earth Club, Pune, on Sunday, 15th March 2026, at 7 a.m.

The rally will start from Shaniwar Wada and cover 10 km. It is open to everyone above 12 years, and every rider will get a free T-shirt and a certificate. The aim is to tell people that cycling keeps our city clean and our bodies fit. Remember that a helmet is compulsory. We must register before 10th March, so please send me your name soon and I shall register both of us.

Come on Saturday evening and stay with us, so that we can leave together early in the morning. Bring your cycle and a water bottle. Convey my regards to uncle and aunt.

Yours lovingly,
Aditya
