You are living in a city in a foreign country, and a friend from your home country is soon coming to visit you for several days. Write an email to your friend, asking him or her to bring some things from home which you need saying why you need them making arrangements to meet

Dear Ryan, I'm so glad that you're coming to Alberta
next
month, as it seems ages since we
last
saw each other. I actually have a favour to ask you, and I hope you don't mind. The fact is that I need a few things from my parent's house , and I'd be really grateful if you can bring them along with you. The
first
thing is my old hard disk which I forgot while coming here, which has my childhood memories, and I promised to show them to my kids and they are very keen to see it. The
second
thing is two packets of cookies from Uncle's bakery, our's favourite food joint. I have talked so much about how delicious they are and everyone is curious to taste them. I hope the above is manageable for you, but in case you have any concerns
then
do let me know without hesitation. Other than
this
, send me your arrival detail as I wanna come to pick you up from the airport, and
then
we will be heading towards the venue where I have planned a welcome party for you. I can't wait to see you and counting the days! All the best! Komal
