    Default have some things in common

    Dear teachers,

    Is it grammatically correct to say:

    "I found that Jan and I have got some things in common"

    Is it strange to write this sentence in a formal letter?

    Thank you.

    Kitty

    You can leave out "got", it's not necessary and it's better without it.
