You stayed at your friends’ house when you participated in a business seminar in Australia. You left a file with important documents in your room.
Task: Write a letter to your friend, describing the file and ask him/her to return it to you by post.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am sorry I am writing now. I am writing to thank you for your wonderful hosting. I had a great time in your house. During the past days I realized, I had lost one of my files. I searched for it everywhere, but I could not find it. Suddenly, I remembered the last day I was in your home. Do you remember this day? When I was packing my stuff, you came and asked me about a red file that I put on the table. I said I would put it on my hand bag. As you can see, I forgot do to that. The file contains all seminars' documents, my notebooks and my report.
I will be very grateful, if you send me this file by post. You have my currently address, right? I must give this file to my boss. If I do not do it in until next Monday, I will be punished.
With best wishes, Mari.
