We can use whom for people when the relative pronoun is the object of the following verb.
I've just got a postcard from a woman whom I met on holiday last year. (I met the woman.)

But whom is formal and unusual. In spoken English, we more often use that (see page 256), who or
nothing (see page 257).
I've just got a postcard from a woman who/that I met on holiday last year.
OR I've just got a postcard from a woman I met on holiday last year.

In some answers, both contracted forms (for example I'm, don't) and full RELATIVE PRONOUNS 255
forms (for example lam, do not) are possible. Normally both are correct.
