Hi Lucia
How are you? It was so nice to meet you last week in Sydney at the sales mecting. How was the
rest of your trip? Did you see any kangaroos? I hope you got home to Mexico City OK
Anyway, I have the documents about the new Berlin offices. We're going to be open in three
months. I moved here from London just last week. They are very nice offices, and the location is
perfect. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and banks in the area. There's also public
transport, we are next to an U-Bahn (that is the name for the metro here). Maybe you can come
and see them one day? I would love to show you Berlin, especially in the winter. You said you
have never seen snow - you will see lots here!
Here's a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night! Remember
the singing Englishman? Crazy! Please send me any other photos you have of that night. Good
memories.
Please give me your email address and I will send you the documents.
Bye for now
Mikel

Agatha Christie is known all over the world as the Queen of Crime. She wrote 78 detective novels, 19 plays, and 6 romantic novels. Her books have been translated into 103 foreign languages. They are the third best-selling books in the world (after Shakespeare's works and the Bible). Many of her novels and short stories have been filmed. The Mousetrap, her most famous play, is now the longest-running play in history of world theatre.
Agatha Christie was born at Torquay, Devonshire. She was educated at home and took singing lessons in Paris. She began writing at the end of the First World War. Her first novel, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" was published in 1920. That was the first appearance of Hercule Poirot, who became one of the most famous private detectives since Sherlock Holmes.
Agatha Christie became generally recognized in 1926, after the publishing of her novel "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd". It is still considered her masterpiece.
When Agatha Cristie got tired of Hercule Poirot she invented Miss Mar-pie, a deceptively mild old lady with her own method of investigation.
The last Poirot book, The Curtain, appeared shortly before the writer's death, and the last Miss Marple story, The Sleeping Murder, and her autobiography were published after her death.
Agatha Christie's success with millions of readers lies in her ability to combine clever plots with excellent character drawing* and a keen sense of humour with a great observation. Her plots always mislead the reader and keep him in suspense. He cannot guess who the criminal is. Fortunately, evil is always conquered in her novels.
Agatha Christies language is simple and good and it is pleasant to read her books in the original.
