Hi Juliette,
I'm so excited that you're coming to London next week! It's going to be amazing. You should bring comfortable clothes and shoes because we'll walk a lot and see many places. Don't forget a jacket, because the weather can change quickly here.
If you can, please bring some French chocolate or biscuits, because they're quite hard to find in the UK and I really like them. For a souvenir, I'd love something small that represents your town, maybe a keyring or a postcard.
See you very soon!
Love,
Mary.
