Dear Annie,
How are you doing? It’s been a while since we have spoken to each other. I have good news to share, I will be moving to London to take a new job that I have been offered. I will reach London on 15th of Jan.
As you know, I have never been to London before, so I was hoping you could help me in finding accommodation. Though my company has arranged a studio apartment for the initial week, I will have to vacate the place after that.
My preference would be to live closer to my workplace, which is in central London, as it would save a lot of travelling time and if I could get something near tube station and the marketplace that would be great. I am mostly looking for a studio apartment. If studios are not available, I would not mind sharing a flat with a man. But the apartment should be spacious with good ventilation. My budget is around 500 pounds per month. Do you think I will get something in that budget?
Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Regards,
Chris
Direction: As if you are Annie, read the letter and give a suitable response.
