INFORMAL EMAIL “WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE, UNCLE TOM” From: Antonio To: Tom Subject: Birthday Present How are things? Great to hear from you! Sorry I haven’t written, but I’ve been busy. I want to tell you how grateful I am for your gift. First of all, I love the motorbike - it is exactly what I wanted! At first, I thought the gift would be another gigantic dog, just like when I was a child, but you really surprised me. The delivery person got lost, so I received it one month late. Although I really like the present, I would prefer a car, but it’s okay. You know that I love animals, but you give me one every year and I’m tired of dogs so, for the next birthday, why don’t you send me a car? I would like it very, very much. Write soon! I can’t wait for your next present. All the best,
