Dear Sam,
How are you? You won't believe what happened (1) to me last Saturday.
I was walking (2) along the beach with my dog, Sam, when he spotted (3) something in the sand. He started (4) digging it up and waving his tail happily. It turned (5) out to be a wooden box with coins in it. I quickly grabbed (6) it from Sam, who was trying (7) to chew it, and took (8) it straight to my history teacher, Mr. Brown.
As soon as I saw (9) the look in his eyes, I knew (10) we had found (11) something special. Together, we went (12) to the local museum. They examined (13) the coins and announced (14) that they were 250 years old! Can you believe it? A box full of valuable coins had been waiting (15) for someone to find it for so many years!
The people at the museum came (16) to investigate. They dug (17) all around the area, but they didn't find (18) anything else. It's still a bit of a mystery how the box came (19) to be there.
Attached is the article from the local paper. What do you think of the photo? Write back soon.
