Hi Fran,

I lost my mobile phone yesterday and I need to buy a new one, but I can’t go to the shops today because I have exams all
day. When you finish work, could you go to Expert and buy a new phone for me? I can give you the money this evening.

I want to use the phone to make calls, send messages and go online. I don’t use many apps, so I don’t need a lot of mem-
ory space. It’s important that the phone is thin and light so I can carry it around with me easily. I don’t want to spend much
money on the phone, so please look for one that costs less than €50. Long battery life would be good too.

Thank you so much for your help. I’ll see you this evening and tell you how the exams go then.

Best wishes,

Matt
