Task description: INFORMAL E-MAIL asking for help for my best friend to my old host family in the USA. Time limit: 45'. Word Limit: 125-150. The letter is really good but it doesn't comply with the word limit. It's got about 220 words... Remember: in exams, if you don't comply with the requirements your work cannot be checked and you fail the test, OK?

To: MaryNewman@hotmail.com
Subject: your friend from Spain

Hello Mary!

It is Josephine! I suppose that you do not expect this e-mail from me. It HAS been too long since the last time, HASn't it? I HAVEN'T HEARD from you FOR about three months, but I hope you are fine. I am well in Spain so don't worry about me. I miss you a lot and I would like to go back to your country next year.

Currently, I am working in a school, but I don't know if I am going to be here for a long time because students are very nervous and they are driving me crazy!

Anyway, this email is to tell you about my best friend Isabel. We have been friends since our childhood. I would like to ask you to do me a favour.

Isabel wants to travel to the USA to look for a job, you know. In Spain it is very difficult to find something interesting and well paid. Well, she needs somewhere to stay, so I thought you could lend her your apartment in the basement.

She is a good person and I am sure you won't have any problemS with her.

I would be very happy and very grateful if you could give her a hand.

Please write soon,

Kisses

Josephine
