参考例文：
Dear Jack,
I hope this email finds you well. I've been thinking about our upcoming survey on the protection of old houses in the ancient town and wanted to share my plan with you.
My idea is to start by conducting interviews with local residents and historians to understand the historical significance of these old houses. Additionally, we could document their current conditions through photographs and note any preservation efforts already in place. This data would provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of existing preservation measures.
I also think it would be beneficial to gather opinions from tourists and local business owners, as they offer different perspectives on the importance of these old houses to the town's heritage and economy.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this approach or any other ideas you might have. Your insights would be greatly appreciated in shaping our survey to make it as impactful as possible.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Li Ming
