Hi Jason,How are things? Did you get my email about the party I'm having on Friday night? You haven't answered me.

First of all, can you come? I know you've got your driving test on Saturday, so you probably want an early night.On the other hand, you'll probably be nervous so maybe it would be a good idea to get out and relax a bit

Anyway,even if you don't come , could I borrow a few of your discs? I know you've got a lot of good music . I was also wondering - could you lend me your speakers as well? Mine aren't very good. I promise that nothing will happen to them

Hope you can come. Please let me know-.

See you,Cristina
