My dear Jack,I feel most embarrassed in referring to a rather difficult subject. I wonder if it may have slipped your memory that nearly three months ago you asked me for a loan of RMB500. You said you woud make repayment on the next pay day. Perhaps you may make the repayment within 2 weeks. I am sure you will agree and not be offended at my request. Here is a good news for you. The Russian National Ballet Troupe,which is now on a visit in Beijing will give a performance in the National Grand Theater tomorrow evening. I am sure you will be happy to watch it. Here I leave you an admission card. The performance will begin at seven o'clock sharp. I will expect you at the theater entrance. Please let me know if you are prevented from coming. Yours sincerely, Li Ming.
