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
