Dear Minh,
I am writing to invite you to our department's team-building day, which will be held next month. I think you would really enjoy it and it would be a great chance for us to catch up.
The event will take place on Saturday, August 16th, at Green Valley Resort in Ba Vi, Hanoi. We will meet at the office at 7:30 a.m. and travel together by bus. The program includes outdoor games, a cooking competition, and a barbecue dinner in the evening. All expenses will be covered by the company.
I believe this would be a wonderful opportunity for you to meet colleagues from different departments and strengthen our working relationships. Moreover, the resort has beautiful scenery, which I am sure you will appreciate.
Please let me know by August 5th if you are able to attend so that I can arrange transportation.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Best regards,
Lan
