Dear Vanessa, 
How have you been lately? Is everything going okay at work? I have been pretty busy over the last few weeks. Fortunately, things are finally slowing down, so I can take a short vacation. Since I haven’t been to Los Angeles before, I’ve decided to fly out there at the end of this month. Of course, I would like to see you while I’m there. 
I’ll arrive in LA on the 21st of this month and I’ll stay until the 25th. When would it be convenient for us to meet for lunch or dinner? Also, if you have any particular remendations regarding places to see, please let me know. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. 
Sincerely,
