Hi Georgia,
Thank you for bearing with me, I’m home from work now. I hope your day is going well so far?
Lucky, right. My family have opted out of using my real name, other than when they’re cross, since I was six years old.
Long story short, I was playing in the garden when I found a coin in the dirt.
I didn’t think much of it, and shoved it in my pocket.
The next day I took it to school for show-and-tell, and my teacher practically ran out of the classroom to ring my mum.
Turns out: the coin was from 1066. It ended up being worth ￡1,500.
My parents went digging and found eight more. The story made it onto the front page of the Daily Mail, which my mum proudly framed and hung up in our lounge. I’m sure she’ll want to show it to you all when you’re here.
They sold the eight coins, but let me keep mine. I still carry it around with me as a good luck charm.
What about you? Any childhood nicknames?
Also, how would you feel about exchanging numbers? If you’re comfortable, my number is: +44 115-555-0235.
Sincerely,
Callum
