Dear Kaya:

“I do not care about my clothes but I do care for my vinyl which is my father’s collection“- what if you send him a short email, saying something like: I am very sorry to bother you, but I would feel so much better at this time if I had my vinyl back, it is part of my father’s collection and it will give me great comfort to have it with me. Will you be so kind as to mail it to me (or allow me to pick it up at your convenience)?
