Hi John 
Just a quick message to tell you about on auction I was take to in London last week. I was persuaded to go by some friends of mine and although I wasn’t very keen at first, I ended up having a great time. When we first got there we was given a list of all the items in the auction and then we had some time to look at everything. Most of it was rock-and-roll memorabilia and there were some old records and things. I was a bit nervous about bidding for things at first, but soon got into it. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I bought a large jukebox. It’s really fantastic - and a real bargain I think. It will be delivered next week. But can I ask you a huge favour? You see, they said it couldn’t sent abroad to my house so I given them your address in London. I hope that’s 0K! I will arrange for my uncle to pick it up from your place very soon, I promise. Then he’ll look after it until I’m in London again in the summer. Don’t worry, when it arrives, you will asked to sign something but you won’t have to pay anything. All the payment sorted out already. 
I’ll phone soon to let you know the exact time of delivery. 
 All the best, 
Guiseppe
