Dear Sarah,
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to share some exciting news—I’m relocating to Miami next month. The primary reason for my move is the city’s fantastic climate, which will be a great change from our cold, snowy winters.
Miami boasts a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round. The summers are hot, with average highs around 90°F, and the winters are pleasantly mild, rarely dipping below 60°F. The abundant sunshine and beautiful beaches were a big draw for me.
While I’m thrilled about this new chapter, I also feel a bit nostalgic about leaving behind the familiar comforts and our regular hangouts. I will miss you dearly, but I’m looking forward to this adventure and hope you can visit me soon.
Take care, and let’s stay in touch!
Best regards,
Michael
