Dear friend,

My name is Jack and I am from Manchester in England. I was born on 14^th September 1989. I have got 1 sister. Her name is Frances. We live with our parents in a house with a garden but we have not got a car. Last year I went on holiday to Salobreña in Spain. It was great and I met a nice Spanish girl called Leticia. We write e-mails. She writes in Spanish and I write in English. I must go. I have some homework to do.

Please write soon

Jack.
