Hi, Lilly
I’m happy to write to you. I want to tell you about what happened to me yesterday.
Yesterday was a really crazy day. I couldn’t imagine that something bad can happen to me.
I came to my office at 10:00. I felt nervous because I was late. I went to my working place and
had some coffee. I heard my colleagues spoke about me. I knew that they didn’t like me very
much and it got on my nerves. Then our boss came into the office. He saw me and said he lef
some important documents for me the day before. He needed them for the meeting that
started in 15 minutes. It was strange. I didn’t see any documents. I couldn’t find them neither
on my table nor anywhere else. My colleague Mandy said: “I think you lost them. Boss will fire
you. You will lose your job.” But then I remembered that I put them in a blue file. Thanks god I
found the documents in time. And everything was Ok.
I really needed to relax, so I went shopping afer work.
How are you? Tell me about what you did yesterday.
Love, Nancy
