Dear Susan and Nick,

We collected Stavros's ticket yesterday so I'm writing to give you his travel details.

He leaves Athens on December 13 on Flight OM 194 and arrives in Melbourne the next day at 11. 20 in the morning. The airline says there are sometimes delays so it's worth phoning them at the airport to check the flight is on time.

I've enclosed a recent photograph, but just in case you have problems recognising him, he's quite tall for his years with a straight light brown hair and green eyes. He’ll be wearing a light grey T-shirt, jeans and black trainers.

Is there anything you would like him to bring from Greece? The honey is delicious, you know it, and so are the olives.

I ask you to tell us what would you like.

I think, that's all for the moment.

All the best,

Giorgos
