IELTS preparation. An unformal letter of apology. ~20min
Dear Jack,
I'm writing to you to apologize for the inconvenience that I shall not be able to meet you at the airport. I remember that your flight is landing on Friday at 6PM. I have a serious reason to be in the other part of the city. If your flight is delayed and land after 7PM I will return and take you to the hotel.
Anyway, to be sure you will get to the right place and not to be lost in unknown city let me explain the fastest way to find your hotel. As far as I remember you booked Novotel in the center of the city.
When you arrive to the airport find taxi office located to the right at the first floor. There are 2 Novotel hotels in Moscow. One is situated at the center (it is yours), second one - outside of the city close to Moscow Ring Road. Your hotel is easy recognizable building with white columns and 2 big eagle sculptures to the both sides. That is why this building is often called 'Eagles Nest'. It takes no more than 20 minutes to get there by taxi despite all the traffic lights, one way roads and pedestrian streets in the center. It will cost you no more than 20$.
May I apologize again and ask you to call me when you reach your room. I reserved a table for the diner in one very famous by its Russian cuisine restaurant.
See you at the evening.

Hi Bronson, thank you very much for your correction.
Actually Novotel has similar buildings to other countries, they are not unique and not memorable at all, just modern building from concrete and glass. We have many restaurants in Moscow, most of them have Italian quisine (I hate it) but you can find Russian quisine here very easly.
Text for IELTS shouldn't be truthful, therefore I wrote using my fantazy and grammar.

Very good Olya. Not many mistakes at all. I am curious, what is the name of the famous Russian restaurant you referred to?
