To: Simon
Hey, Simon.
I´m fine. I have had great grades on my exams.
I`m thankful that you sent me an e-mail. About going to
Malaga, I asked to my mom and she said yes! So I’ll see you
soon. The household chore I hate most is washing dishes
and cleaning the bathroom.
Friend let me tell you, I don`t have photos with Susan`s. I`m
so sorry for it.
Hugs.
Ed.
