Dear Gwendoline
Silly rambling to practice writing...
Dear Gwendoline:
Hi! How are you? How was your flight to come back to your home? I hope all was good.
Well, I'm writing you to warn you that you have forgotten several things here at my home... let me enumerate them:
1.- Your teethbrush. It was under the sitting room's rug. What it was doing there? Maybe Jonsey the cat stole it to you and hide it there, as a weird treasure? I don't know.
2.- Your fish rod. I found it into the wardrobe in the room you have been sleeping. Ah: bedroom is the word to name that room, I realized just now. But I didn't know that you like fishing! Why didn't you tell me? I don't like fishing at all, but I really enjoy walking besides the river and under the trees... We could have gone there together... We'll go next time you come here, OK?
3.- Your left yellow Katiuska. I found it into your bedroom too, hidden behind the red wooden stoll. I guess you forgot it there because the rush while preparing your baggage before your departure. It is a beautiful katiuska. I'll probably fill it with soil and plant a cactus on it. Or two cacti. Or do you prefer that I send back to you all this stuff? Please let me know. If you want it back, I will send it to you hanging from the little thin leg of my orange budgerigar Marcelino. I have a severe lack of money at the moment and I can't afford the payment of a parcel, but Marcelino would help us with this happily. Let me know.
Kind regards from the other side of the Ocean, my friend. See you soon.

Mamooth clock alarm
Brief silly text to practise my writing... an imaginary complaint to an imaginary eBay user:
Dear eBay user parakeet:
I am Francis Baratheon (AKA "mockingbird" on eBay) and I write you about the item "Mamooth clock alarm" that I bought to you two a hundred and seventy five days ago. I have several complaints about this purchase, and they are:
Firstly, the parcel arrived to my home with two hundred and seventy three days of delay. You assured me that would be here in two days, but that was a complete lie.
Secondly, the sound of the alarm is not a mamooth scream as I requested, but a ridiculous cricket sound. I don't like it at all.
Finally, and the most important: the volume of the ridiculous cricket alarm it is not 150 decibels at all. I tested it with my pocket-sound-measurer, and the result was only seven decibel. Another misleading statement of your ad.
So, as a consequence of your lies, I didn't achieve to wake up in time the day I had to take a steamboat to Argentina, because, of course, I din't hear the cricket alarm and I stayed sleeping too much and, when I arrived to the port the only thing I could see from the steamboat was its fume over the horizon.
Therefore, I ask you for a refund of 7.500$: 15$ for the faulty clock and 7.485$ for the ticket of the travel I lost because your fraud.
Waiting to hear for you soon,
Francis.

Complaint
Dear Sir:
I am writing about the dog puppy I bought on your online store yesterday. The package arrived perfectly and in time. But I found some problems:
Firstly, the animal, although it seems not to have health problems, is has only two legs. Not four. Also, does not have a tail. Neither lovely puppy ears. Instead of that, it has a grey beak, a lot of feathers, and an extravagant yellow crest.
Secondly, it is no brown, as I requested. It's white.
I think it is a cockatoo, not a dog.
Finally –and the worst: the cockatoo has the unpleasant habit of imitating the sound from a fire truck, specially when I try to converse with someone. If the house is silent, Frederyck (the cockatoo) is quiet, but if I start to talk to someone, in the house or by phone, he starts screaming immediately. Crappy.
I begun to write to you looking for a refund but... do you know what? I think I’m going to stay with Frederick. I’m starting to love him.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Óscar.
PS.:
–Hey, say goodbay, Fred!
–Cheep cheep, waow-waow, waow-waaaooow!
–Good boy!
