Hi there!
I was writing a letter to my friend.
Which one could be more appropriate for an informal letter?

"I don't think it's possible compare Australian graduation to Italian one. I mean..Italian government must had worked really hard to make it so ugly! "

"I don't think it's possible compare Australian graduation to Italian one. I mean..Italian government must had been working really hard to make it so ugly! "

Thank you in advice

Thank you in [STRIKE]advice[/STRIKE] advance. Thanks are unnecessary. Just click the Like button when you receive a reply you find helpful.

Now they are both appropriate if you mean a graduation ceremony.

We never use 'must had' in any verb tense, and two dots are not used as any sort of punctuation.
