Let’s start writing the email:

Hi Nakagawa,

How are you? Hope all is well in your world.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Alia, I’m 16 years old girl from Indonesia. Currently I’m studying in Tunas Bangsa Senior High School in Jakarta at tenth grade. My hobbies are writing, swimming and hiking. I’m the only child in my family that’s why sometimes when I need someone to talk to, I’m going to penpal to look for new acquaintances.

What about you Nakagawa? Tell me about yourself and your family! I would like to read about it too :)

If you have some time in the future, I would like to visit you in Tokyo or maybe you could come to Jakarta? Hehe just kidding. Waiting for your reply!

Best,

Alia
