One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I’m glad to receive your letter. Since you are interested in Tianchi water monster in Changbai Mountains，I’ll introduce it.
From 1962 to 1980, more than 20 people have witnessed it five times. The description of “water monster” can be summarised as; the head is bigger than the head of an ox; the mouth is protruding; the neck is long; the body is large. But maybe it’s just a big fish or something underwater, so it is worth visiting. Because the altitude of Tianchi is very high, and the weather is relatively cold, you must take warm clothes.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
