Subject: Must get fit!
Hi,
I haven't been feeling great recently. I've put on a lot of weight and haven't been doing any exercise.
Sophie told me yesterday that you lost a lot of weight last year. Have you got any tips about what I should be doing? Anything I should avoid? I would really appreciate any help you could give me.
Speak soon
