Dear Nastya,

Hi! I hope you are feeling good after the vacation. Or maybe the first week at work has already lowered your mood?

Anyway, remember how I claimed that thanks to my brand new high quality camera we will not be needing camera in your phone on our trip? So… It seems that something wrong happened with the lens, and all the pictures that I took got ruined.

That is why I am writing to you today. I would like to ask you to send me all the photos on your smartphone that you took during our journey. Please, make sure that this particular depiction of ours is included. You know, the one on which we pose together in front of the waterfall.

It is very crucial for me to receive it, given the fact that I am the one responsible for sending Christmas cards this year. In other words, I need perfect material to make all those farly related relatives of ours happy.

Thank you in advance, you are my savior.

Best wishes.
