You recently went on a trip with a friend and you both took some photographs. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter -ask your friend to send you one of the photographs. -explain why you need that particular photograph -and tell your friend what happened to your copy of it.
Dear Raj,
Hope you are doing well. We had a great trip
last
month and I still cherish the time we spent together hiking the Alps. What a splendid sunset view we had from the cliff!!! I believe that episode will be forever etched in my memory.
The reason why I am writing this
letter is to ask you a favour if you could send me one of the photographs. We took a lot of photos during that event and I need a picture where I was trying to hold the sun in my hand. However
, the picture I clicked seemed shaky and it couldn't capture our entire emotions well. I recollect you took the same pose using your camera and I believe that came out well. Hence
, if you could develop that picture and send me the hard copy that would be really helpful.
Thanks for your assistance with this
. Looking forward to the photo's hard copy soon. Let's plan for a similar outdoor hike the next summer as well.
Yours friendly,
