last time you asked me about my holiday in Scotland, so let me tell you about it. I had a coach tour around the area. Overall it wasn't a good experience. Firstly, the coach was so old and slow. Moreover, the weather was quite nasty and the passengers were just too noisy. Moreover, we stayed at bland third-rate hotels and in one of them my money was stolen. I'm convinced someone from staff of the hotel took it, but I can't prove it! The police didn't believe me and was most unhelpful. I'm really glad that the trip is over.

Dear ,
last time you asked me about my holiday in Scotland, so let me tell you about it. I had a coach tour around the area. Overall it wasn't a good experience. Firstly, the coach was so old and slow. Moreover, the weather was quite nasty and the passengers were just too noisy. Moreover, we stayed at bland third-rate hotels and in one of them my money was stolen. I'm convinced someone from staff of the hotel took it, but I can't prove it! The police didn't believe me and was most unhelpful. I'm really glad that the trip is over.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Roger
