You have just spent a weekend at a friend's house.when you returned home. You discovered you have left a coat containing some belongings in his house. Write a letter to your friend telling him that you left the coat. Tell him what the coat looks like , where you think you left it and what was inside it. Make some suggestions about how to get it back.

Dear Tim, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you to ask that you help me return my
coat
. I am grateful to you for allowing me to stay at your home and spend so much time there. I still remember that we fished and cooked together and made a fantastic meal. Unfortunately, when I get home, I notice that I forgot my
coat
at your house. I wanted to call you, but my cellphone is in my
coat
, so I have to write a letter to you. I believe that I put my
coat
on the sofa, which is in your living room. We sat on that sofa after dinner and watched movies together. I felt hot, so I took off my
coat
and threw it on the sofa. The
coat
is blue in colour and has a zip in front of it. a jazz band picture on the back, so I think you can find it easily. Inside the
coat
, my cell phone and my wallet will be in the left pocket. If you find it, please send it back to me. I suggest that you bring it to my classroom tomorrow morning because I will be there all morning. I eagerly await your response, and I thank you very much. Best regards,
