Dear Ben,
How's it going? Thank you for your letter. Haven't heard you for ages.

I like playing computer games too, but I play them very seldom. I prefer to read a good book in my free time. I like reading books by Lermontov. He’s my favourite author. He’s a famous Russian poet and prose writer. I like his poems. Also I like reading adventures stories. For example, I’ve recently read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. I advise you to read this really interesting book.

What computer games do you like playing?

Write back soon,

Yours (имя)
