Dear Professor Green,

I was told by our mutual⁴ friend Mr. Smith that you would visit China next month this year. May I take the opportunity to invite you to come to our college to give the students of our English department some lectures on Modern American Literature? Please let me know as soon as possible if you can come and tell me when you will be able to do so.

With warm personal regards.

Your sincerely

Mary
