Dear Louise,

I was happy to get your email about the music festival, and I'd love to come. l've always wanted to visit Dublin, and this seems like a great time for it.

You asked me about concert choices but I didn't get the link. It'd be great if you could send it again. I'd rather see dance than music.

I'll let you know about my specific choices once I see the programme.

Your cousin's flat sounds excellent. Do you know if it is in the city centre or on the outskirts?

I'll be able to stay for three days, and I will book a flight once I know the concert dates. Can't wait to hear more about it all.

All the best,

Corinna
