You stayed at your friend’s house when you attended a conference in Australia. Unfortunately, you left a large envelope with some important documents in your room. Write a letter to your friend. In the letter: -Thank your friend for the stay. -Describe where you left the envelope. -Ask him/her to return it to you by post.

Dear Ned, How have you been? I reached home
this
morning, and I'd like to tell you that I forgot some vital documents at your place
while
leaving in haste. After my conference when I was on the return journey, I checked my stuff, and found that an important envelope was missing. First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude towards the wonderful stay that you offered at your apartment. I'll not forget the fun which we had that evening with your friends.
However
, we didn't even realise about the passing time that we were awake till late at night. As I remember,
while
showing my AWS certification to Jamie, I took out my degree papers from my bag. I am afraid, I didn't put them back in the bag, and the envelope containing those documents might be near the TV case. I'd appreciate it if you could post those to my address as soon as possible. Because I might need them next week for a job interview. I'd love it if we all could meet again at my place
this
time. With love, Ronnie
