PART E_2

Hi Ryan,

Sorry that I was out of touch recently. My computer broke down a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to call you, but I couldn’t because I didn’t know your new phone number. I knew that you had sent it by e-mail, but I forgot to write it down in my address book. And I couldn’t access my e-mail account. I know I’m making a lot of excuses, but things happen sometimes and I can’t help it.

Apparently, my computer was infected with a virus. I had the anti-virus program installed on my computer, but it didn’t detect the virus! How is that possible? I can’t believe I wasted my money on something that didn’t even work! I was not happy at all, of course, so I bought a new laptop. Which means I’ll be back in touch with you from now on. OK, well enough ranting. Call me when you have time.
