Sample Essay
Dear John,
I am writing to share an exciting project with you. I am planning a short play based on the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West.
The story focuses on the desert journey, inspired by the magnificent Ningxia landscapes. Interestingly, I have added a creative twist where the pilgrims refresh themselves with some aromatic Oolong tea during their rest. Given your talent for acting, I would love to invite you to play the lead role, Monkey King.
It would be a fantastic experience for us both! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
