I listened to the music for a while, having written an important letter.

00My grammar book says the second one is written to "emphasize" the participle pharse("having written an important letter"). But I learned from other book that if the participle pharse happens first, it should be put in front of the other sentence, just like my first example above.02br

00What do you think about it? Is the second example correct or wrong? Thank you for your answer.0-
