    Dear Deborah, dear Andy!
    Best wishes from Germany!

    At first I'd like to say thank you for the 2 weeks I spent at your house. It was such a great time and so interesting to get to know you, Bournemouth and the britisch culture.

    I am writing to enquire about you could do me a favour.
    Because my father collets sand from different countries all over the world.
    And so I wanted to bring him also some sand from Bournemouth.
    It's so annoying that I forgot it, because it would be really nice to have some sand from the destination where I spent my first holiday alone.

    I'd like to ask you if you could collect some sand from Bournemouth for me and put it into the plastic bag and the small packet which I sent you.
    I also sent you some money for paying the postage.

    It would be so nice, if you could do that for me.

    Bye

    Lily, the letter, while maybe not perfect English was certainly more than understandable.It`s still not perfect English, but maybe a little more understandable.

    At first want to thank you for the 2 weeks I spent at your house. I had such a great time and it was so interesting to meet you, Bournemouth and the britisch culture.

    I am writing to ask you to do me a favour.
    My father collets sand from different countries all over the world. Therefore I wanted to bring him also some sand from Bournemouth.
    Unfortunately I forgot, but it would be really nice to have some sand from the place where I spent my first holiday alone.

    I'd like to ask you if you could be so kind as to collect some sand from Bournemouth for me and put it into the plastic bag and the small parcel I sent you and send it back to me.

    I also included money for the postal cherges.

    It would be so nice, if you could do that for me.

    Ich habe mal nur das Wichtigste verbessert. Der Rest ist verständlich, und Deine Freunde kennen ja nun Deine Englishkenntnisse.

    Wo ich nicht sicher bin: Hast Du den Plastikbeutel, das Päckchen und das Geld den Freunden bereits geschickt? So hört sich das nämlich an. Falls diese Dinge erst Deinem Brief beigelegt werden, muß es heißen: ... and put it into the enclosed plastic bag and the parcel. I am also enclosing some money for the postage.
