wonderful vacation that we had

last

weekend at your new house. I enjoyed the barbeques and the football match on your big projector. Unfortunately, I forgot my

wallet

at your place. Let me explain to you in detail. After a long drive from your place on Sunday evening, I decided to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. Since I was tired from the long journey, I took a shower and

then

headed to have dinner. I ordered some cheap bites to eat,

however

, when I put my hands in the pocket for payment at the counter, I suddenly realized that I left the

wallet

on the table where we were watching the football match. The

wallet

is important as it contains the only picture of my grandmother. It’s very special to me because it’s the

last

memory I captured before she died. It would be great if you could return my

wallet

this

week. Fortunately, my aunt who lives nearby your house is heading towards my place

this

week on Wednesday. I would request you to hand over my

wallet

to her. Once again, I want to thank you for the lovely time we spend together and hope we could meet often. Your friend, Amy

In today’s modern society, with the development of the country, the internet becomes more prevalent with the majority of people around the world.
