Dear Mandy,
I am writing to ask you for help. I tried calling you, but your phone number has changed. I asked Willis, and he doesn't know, either. I'm coming to Boston at the end of the month to attend a meeting. Can you let me stay for a few days? I'm used to sleeping anywhere. Please let me know if this is all right. What's the weather like now? Last time I was in Boston it was so cold that I almost froze, even though I had all the clothes on. I'm posting this letter to your office. I hope that you can get it soon. Love. Jessica.
