Subject: Follow-up on return of my $1,400 deposit

Hi [Landlord’s name],

I’m Sam, the former tenant of [property address]. I moved out seven weeks ago and understand the security deposit of $1,400 has still not been returned.

I’ve tried to contact you by text and haven’t received a response, so I’m following up here. Please let me know when you expect the deposit to be sent and whether there are any outstanding issues preventing its return.

If I don’t hear back within seven days, I’ll need to proceed with the appropriate formal process to recover the deposit.

I’d prefer to resolve this directly, so please respond as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
Sam

MAJOR SPOILERS — stop here if you still want to read it yourself.

Assuming you mean Ottilie Marsh’s 2023 thriller about art thief Linn: Richard, the seemingly helpful hotel owner, is the serial killer. The murder and the evidence pointing toward Linn are part of a setup—he has engineered the situation to draw her in and frame her for the theft and killing. The real danger isn’t one of the obvious suspects; it’s the person everyone trusts.

Leek, Parmesan & Stale-Bread Frittata — one pan, ~20 min, no oven

Slice the leek thinly, rinse well. Tear the bread into bite-sized chunks. Grate the parmesan.

1. Sweat the leeks (5 min) Melt 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick pan (~22 cm) over medium heat. Add leeks + a pinch of salt, cook 4–5 min until soft and silky.

2. Crisp the bread (3 min) Push leeks aside, add the bread chunks with another small knob of butter. Let them toast and soak up the butter for 2–3 min.

3. Eggs in (8 min) Beat the 4 eggs with most of the parmesan, salt, and plenty of black pepper. Pour into the pan, give it one gentle stir so the bread distributes, then leave it alone. Lower to low-medium, cover with a lid, and cook 7–8 min until the top is just set (peek — should be barely wobbly in the centre).

4. Finish Slide onto a board or plate, top with the remaining parmesan, a crack of pepper, and serve straight from the pan if you're feeling rustic. Cut into wedges.

A few tips to make it sing

• The lid is the trick — it gently steams the top so you don't need an oven.
• No lid? A baking sheet or large plate flipped over the pan works.
• Brighten it: squeeze a bit of lemon over at the end, or serve with a quick arugula/whatever-greens salad with olive oil and lemon.
• Bonus: brown a little extra butter until it smells nutty and drizzle it over before serving — restaurant move.
• Wine pairing thought: a crisp white (pinot grigio, vermentino) — but you probably had that covered.

Enjoy the date night 🌿

“When Elliot first arrived at the climbing gym, he probably thought he was meeting a date and accidentally joining a sport with gravity. But he and my sister had something in common—they both knew how to take a risk. She climbed into his life, and he had the good sense to stay.

Elliot, I don’t think my sister chose someone who could always catch her. She chose someone she trusts to catch her when she needs it—and in marriage, that matters more than any route either of you will ever climb.

So, to my sister and Elliot: may you always have someone at the base, cheering you on, no matter how high you go. Here’s to love, laughter, adventure, and not too many scraped knees.”

The menu is in Italian. The steak is “Bistecca alla fiorentina” (T-bone steak), listed as €5.50 per 100 g, with a minimum of 1.2 kg. The cover charge is €3 per person.

If you share 1.2 kg total of steak:

• Steak: €66
• Cover charge for 2 people: €6
• Total before 12% service: €72
• Total with 12% service: €80.64

So, sharing the minimum 1.2 kg steak would cost €80.64 total. Split evenly, that’s €40.32 each.

Why We Have Summer and Winter 🌍☀️❄️

Here's a fun explanation with diagrams she can follow!

The Big Secret: Earth is TILTED!

Imagine a ball spinning, but leaning over a little — like a top that's about to fall over. That's Earth!

         N (North Pole)
         ↑
         |
       ⬤  ← Earth
         |
         ↓
         S (South Pole)

    (See how it leans? That's the TILT!)

Now watch Earth go around the Sun...

Sometimes the top half (Northern Hemisphere) leans toward the Sun. That's summer for us!

Sometimes the top half leans away from the Sun. That's winter!

Why does leaning toward the Sun make it warmer?

SUMMER ☀️                          WINTER ❄️

    Hot!)                            Cold!)

☀️ In summer: Sunlight hits your part of Earth straight-on, like a flashlight pointed right at you. It feels strong and warm!

❄️ In winter: Sunlight hits at a slant, like a flashlight pointed at the floor. The same amount of light is spread out over more ground, so it feels weaker and cooler.

Fun fact to surprise her 🤯

Earth is actually closest to the Sun in January (winter!) and farthest in July (summer!). So distance isn't what causes seasons — it's all about the tilt!

Quick recap for her:

1. Earth is tilted 🌍↗️
2. Earth orbits the Sun all year 🔄
3. When your side tilts toward the Sun = ☀️ SUMMER
4. When your side tilts away = ❄️ WINTER

You can even grab a ball and a lamp to demonstrate — tilt the ball and walk it around the lamp, and she'll see exactly how it works! 💡
