Dear Sarah,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I am relocating to San Diego next month. The primary reason for my move is the city's wonderful climate, which is much milder compared to our current location.
San Diego enjoys year-round pleasant weather, with warm summers and mild winters. The average temperature ranges from 60°F to 75°F, and there's plenty of sunshine throughout the year. This will be a welcome change for me, especially considering the harsh winters we've been experiencing.
While I am excited about the move and the opportunity to enjoy a better climate, I will miss you and our frequent get-togethers. However, I am looking forward to exploring the new city and hope you'll visit me soon.
Take care, and let's stay in touch!
Best regards,
Jacob
