Dear ***,

　　I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.

　　The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you wait.

　　By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and carry a China Daily at hand.

　　Hope we can meet soon.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　***

親愛的***：

　　我非常期待著你來參觀我們的城市。這么多年來我們一直通信，我早就想見到你了。但是很抱歉我不能按時到機場接你。

　　因為你的飛機是一大早就到達機場，而我最早也要1小時后才能到。你能不能在旅客休息室等我，你可以利用這段時間吃早飯。

　　隨便說一句，因為我們沒過面，我得告訴你怎么找我：我大概1.65米，長發。另外我會穿一件白色的裙子，手上拿一份中國日報。

　　希望早點見到你。

　　你真摯的：***
