Dear John ,

Then you could tour the Reunification Palace , which always attracts lots of visitors due to its magnificent architecture. The Cu Chi Tunnels will certainly amaze you with its of hundreds of kilometers of underground defense works used duringthe war . Finally , the Vinh Nghiem Pagoda and The Duc Ba Cathedral , with their special atmosphere of peace and dignity , will probably complete your tour .I wish you would have a nice holiday .
Remember me to your parents 
Yours dearly ,
