this
time. I'm writing to ask you a favour and hope you don'

mind. I need some things from my home, and I'd be so grateful if you can bring them along with you. The
first
thing is the old hard disk which has some essential data related to my past work experiences back in the country, I need that information out of some work issue. The
second
thing is a packet of cookies made by my mother, can'

tell you how much I am craving those. I hope the above is manageable for you and will not cause you inconvenience but, in case you have any concerns
then
do let me know without any hesitation. Other than
this
send me your arrival details so I can come to pick you up from the airport. I can'
t
wait to meet you. Much Love Komal
