Hi Pete, Just a quick message to explain everything. Your room is the one next to the bathroom. There is a small television in the wardrobe. The sofa turns into a bed. It's easy to open. There's a lot of food in the kitchen - just help yourself. There's a small supermarket on the corner. It's always open. See you later.
Matthew |
Tom, I called but you were in a meeting. I saw the three flats this morning - nothing special. The first one was okay, but it's a bit small. The second one was very expensive and I didn't like the area very much. The last one was very disappointing. Oh, well. There's always tomorrow. Linda |
Dear Mary, It was nice to see you the other day and I was very happy to hear your good news. When do you start? Thirteen years is a long time in one place. Are you sure that you want to leave? It's not too late to change your mind! Call me when I come back from Spain.
Pablo |
David, What happened? We waited and waited. I hope everything's alright. We've got your ticket. Call me on my mobile. It starts at 8 o'clock. Try not to be late.
