I would like to write a letter to owner, help me please with grammar..
Hello!
Our names are Nicholas and Konstantin, we are from Russia. At the moment we have been creating visual novel (something like computer game) and would like to use your composition «Love Is All There Is».
In 90’s mom Nicholas worked in a Gosconcert. The company controlled the publication of foreign music in the USSR. Among the many audio tapes mom Nicholas found "Straight from the Heart". She was very impressed by the music! Since the tape is kept in the family as a relic of that time.
The main theme of our novel is Love. We were very interested and inspired by your music. We thought «Love Is All There Is» would be great sound in our game, because reflects its essence. This is not the commercial project and it will be apply only in free format. We would be grateful if you give your consent to use song.
Sincerely, Nicholas and Konstantin

Failed adventure
In the childhood my parents often sent me and my brother to a summer camp. It’s better than staying in a dusty and stuffy city.
In that place such as a camp always happen many interesting things. Walks in the forest, scary stories near the fire, building the huts – these are the true adventures for a child.
Once we with friends decided to go beyond the camp’s territory. Of course it was forbidden, and if we were caught, we would be deported back home immediately. But curiosity and sense of adventure moved forward.
It was impossible to go through a main gate because of guards, so we decided to climb over the fence. The territory of camp was big and after some searching we found a suitable place. Overcoming the obstacle, we were standing on uncharted land, in anticipating of new discoveries. Looked around, we realized that we were in some pit. There was dark and unfriendly. Suddenly something was buzzed near my ear. Then again. Looked at my friends, I noticed a bee on a shoulder of one of them. In the next moment I looked at my jeans and saw six or seven bees on them! We were next to the beehive! We screamed and run. Climbed back over the fence we were running as crazies, brushing of the stinging insects.
Arriving in our room, we found that we were bitten by dozen bees. Legs and hands were swelled, everything was pained.
So, thus ended before it started our adventure. Maybe the fortune saved us from a real trouble, and returned us back.

The Funny Case
When I was in the army I had a funny case.
We lived in the barracks and they were being renovated. Many things were unfinished. On that day my mate and I stayed on the entryway and talked with the officer. There was the ladder behind us that led down. And the ladder had a ansealed hole. I can't remember what we were talking about, but suddenly the officer threw at us the bunch of keys (as a joke). We had to dodge and keys fall in the hole.
So, I need to clarify: the bunch included keys of home, garage, storeroom and other important rooms. And of course, it wasn't our fault, but the army is the army, and the officer ordered to find the keys before the sun rises)
We were puzzled about an hour. Hands didn't reach, to get inside it wasn't possible. It needed a very long stick and a strong magnet. But where we could find it? And one moment I got it!
The fact that I worked for a personnel department and I had two keys: one from the cabinet, and second from the archive. Also, the redecoration was upstairs and there were many sticks. So, I went to the upfloor and found a long stick. Then I went to the archive. There were many cobwebbed documents, different stuff and some old dusty computers from the 90s, maybe they were 486 or 386 if you remember it) System blocks of these pc had the speakers inside and the speakers included magnets. So, I got these magnets, and went to the cabinet of a personell department. There I found a scotch tape. Then I wrapped with the tape magnets on the end of the stick. Finely I had the needful device for the searching) All these actions reminded me a quest game)
So, then I came to an unfortunate ladder and after several hard attempts, I got the keys!
Later, walking down I met the officer. It seemed he was creating the plans for changing locks in his head. And it was very funny to watch the expression on his face when he saw his safe and sound keys)

The Corfu Island
It's always interesting to read about other countries, their culture, nature, cities. And of course, who doesn't love to travel!
Unfortunately, the big trips are rare (while you save money, find companions, plan a vacation etc.), but when you get it, the memories last for lifetime.
Last time I was in Greece, in Corfu Island. It was a great travel! The length of the island from the North to the South is 65 km, from the West to the East is 20 km. So, it is quite small. Maybe the island would seem boring, but if you don't to sit on the beach, and will hire a care (or scooter), then you'll see many beautiful places. Well, we did it!
We crossed almost all the island: we visited the Paleokastritsa beach, saw its emerald clear water and green cypresses; got to the old pirate castle Angelokastro on the mountain with amazing endless sea view; attended the Perulades beach, with its golden sand and large cliffs; visited the noisy and crowded Cercira, the capital of the island; and finally we got to the very South of the island - Kavou town, a ghostly, dried and deserted place.
It was an incredible adventure, and if you are on the Corfu, I advise to visit all these wonderful beauties and to see it with your own eyes.

Heroes of your youth
I remeber, when I was 16 I listened to a lot of music, and of course like any teenager, I had my own idols, such as Jon Bon Jovi, Axl Rose, Brian Molko, Thom Yorke and others. But I especially admired by Bono from U2.
Having a big influence, he focused the attantion of the society to different problems of a modern world. The poverty of the third world countries, the problem of aids in Africa, unemployment in Ireland - this is one of the few problems with which he continues to fight.
