    Really sorry but Susie and I can't come to your engagement party after all. We're
dying to meet Amanda and really upset we can't make it.

     I am writing in response to your advertisement for an Account Manager in the
Hong Kong Herald of 2nd March. I would be grateful if you could send me further
information.

     Just quick note to ask you a favour. Susie and I forgot to arrange for the post
office to forward our mail. Would you mind keeping it for us and I'll let you have our
new address as soon as we've got one? Also, don't worry if you hear people moving
about next door - we've given the keys to the estate agents.

     Letter 4.
      Sorry we took off so suddenly and didn't phone you - all a bit last minute, I'm
afraid. Don't worry about us - we'll be fine. I'll explain everything one day. Hope Dad
is feeling better and taking it easy.

     Letter 5.
     I am writing to inform you that I would like you to arrange the sale of my flat in
London. A set of keys has been left with my lawyer and he will be contacting you in
the near future to discuss details.
