Answer

Dear Mr.Smith，

I have arrived safely back in China. Thanks again for all your help and kindnessduring my stay in US. You really made sure I had a safe and enjoyable time. I hope you are well and that everything is fine with you.

Unfortunately, I have a very small favor to ask. When I got back to China, I checked my bags and realized that I had left my English dictionary at your house. This was a gift to me from my American teacher and I treasure it dearly. I wonder if you would mind sending it back to me. Of course, I will happily pay for any postage.

I last saw the dictionary on the bookshelf in my bedroom. It has a red cover so it should be easy to find!

Thanks in advance.

                                            Yours, Liu Jie
