Dear Smith,
Knowing that you are interested in a traditional Chinese festival, which is called Dragon Boat Festival by Chinese, I am writing to introduce it to you.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month in honor of the great poet, Qu Yuan. As is known to us, in order to warn the king, Qu yuan sacrifice his life to jump into the Miluo River. People were touched by his behavior and set the day he died as a festival to show honor to him. On that day, we often eat rice-dumplings and drink a special wine. Besides, what should be stressed is the dragon-boat racing, which is very interesting and exciting. People gather on both sides of the river to watch the participants spare no effort to make for the finishing line.
The dragon boat festival is approaching. Would you like to join us to spend it? Looking forward to your coming.
Yours, Lihua
