Dear Sasha, I hope you are doing well and in good health. It's been a
while
since we saw each other so I am hoping we can plan a trip together.
However
, I am writing
this
to inform you that I found some of your belongings in my apartment.
Moreover
, I wanted to present you with the good news that I am currently pursuing my dream job. As of
last
week, I completed my intern program and started working full-time at Ulta Beauty as a hairdresser. Apart from my job, I started playing Cricket as a hobby in my free time which I am totally loving. I am hoping we can play together when we meet next.
Furthermore
, I apologize for not realising that your items have been with me for
this
long. In the near future, I am planning to travel to Seattle and I can drop off your things at your place. If that does not work for you, I can
also
mail it to you. Looking forward to meeting you. With love, KP.
