A) I'm so sorry that the CD you borrowed me has broken. The Cd was in the book and it was on the chair. Sudenly I sat and broke it. Don't worry. I'm going to ask my friend if he can borrow the original CD and I copy it.
B) I'm so grateful for the dinner on friday. Would you like to go out next week?. I'd rather go clubbing with you. Don't forget the jacket that I left in your house.
C) Hope you have a good time on holiday. I'd prefer to work al home on friday if it's posible, but if I would be a problem with the work I like to have your mobile number. Could you send me the mobile number?

To a Friend
Hi Michael,
I must tell you something about the CD I borrowed to you: what happened was that when I was tidying my desk some objects fell on the floor, one of them hit your CD and It broke.
I konw it's a special CD for you because you got it in London: I'm really sorry.
I'm going to try to find it here, but if I can't, don't worry: my sister lives in London and, in any case, she will buy it; I hope.
All the best
To a couple of friends
Hi again friends,
We are so grateful for Friday's dinner in your house, food was delicious, of course, and conversation was pleasant and interesting as usual. We really enjoyed it. Just a little problem: I left my jacket in your house.
You know I have a workmate who sings and plays the guitar in a blues band. If you like we might meet next week to dinner out and then listen to live music. The blues band sounds really good, I think you'll like it.
If you don't mind, can you bring me the jacket I left in your house?. Don't forget, please.
Much love
To my boss
Dear Mr. Brown,
I know you are going away on holiday next week. You know there are still some business to solve and I am going to try to solve them by myself, but finally I can not decide. Could you tell me a mobile phone number to keep in touch? Probably I will not need it, but so I could ask you about any problem.
You know too, that next Friday there is not any special matter at office and I would rather work at home. Would you mind if I did it?
Hope you have nice holiday

Hi Laura!
How are you? I´m fine.
I would like to say something, but it’s a bit embarrassed for me.
Yesterday evening, I put your Cd about classical music in my Hi Fi equipment, suddenly it begun to go very fast, then I heard a noisy like “crash!!!”.
Oh, my good! I thought.
The CD Player broke your CD, Laura.
I’m so sorry! What happened was that I couldn’t do anything for it!
I’m going to buy the same CD in the Fnac, and I’ll bring it to your house.
See you tomorrow!

Hi James,
I had an accident with your CD. Last Saturday, I was studying in my bedroom, when I decided to listen to some music. I caught your CD from my schoolbag but my little brother appeared behind me and scared me with an awful mask. The CD fall to the floor and I believe that it was scratched because then I couldn’t listen it. I’m so sorry to broke it, so I’m going to buy a new CD tomorrow and next Friday when we met, I’ll return it to you.
See you on Friday,
Cristina
