You have just spent a week with a friend on holiday. When you got home, you realised you had left your wallet there. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: 1. Thank your friend for the holiday 2. Explain you have left your wallet in their house 3. Give them instructions of how to send it back to you

Dear Mary,
Last
week I have spent a fantastic holiday at your place with you and your family. It was a great pleasure for me to have
this
opportunity to stay at your cosy home with
such
a gorgeous view of the mountain and lakes. The food that your mum prepared for the whole family the whole week was so delicious ,especially the Indian food that I ate
last
Tuesday. I hope to get
this
chance again to spend some holidays in your vicinity. I am writing you
this
letter to inform you that when I returned back home, I could not find my wallet and I am pretty sure that I left it in your drawer. When I was doing my packing to return home from your place, I completely forgot to put my purse in my bag.
Hence
, I would be grateful if you could return my purse when you will be coming to university courses next week. My wallet contains some of my crucial things like my student ID card, National Identity Card and others. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes, Sarah Hubert
