Dear Annie,

I hope this letter finds you well. I want to thank you for agreeing to take care of my apartment and my furry dachshund, Shadow, while I am on a business trip to London.

I must admit, the thought of leaving Shadow behind was quite unsettling, but knowing that you are looking after him brings me immense comfort. I cannot thank you enough for being there for me during this time.

In case you need to reach out to me concerning the apartment or Shadow, please feel free to contact me on my phone at +0123456789 or through email at rachel@yahoo.com. I shall get back to you as soon as possible.

Shadow can be a handful with his energy and enthusiasm, but I'm sure you'll love him. Please remember to feed him twice a day, in the morning and evening. And don't forget to provide him with water throughout the day. He adores playing, so it would be great if you could spare some time and embark on playful adventures with him.

Now, onto the vital household responsibilities. I kindly ask you to shower some love and water on the plants every morning. Additionally, it would be helpful if you could take out the trash on the designated days. I know you'll ensure the apartment is in order in my absence.

Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for your help. Your assistance lets me travel with peace of mind, knowing that my home and Shadow are in the best hands.

I'm waiting to see you, Annie, and hoping to hear some fun stories about the time you and Shadow had together. I'm sure he'll charm you with those puppy dog eyes!

Warm regards,

Rachel.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to bring to your attention a valuable item I lost during my recent visit to your shopping mall. I hope you can assist me in locating it.

The item I lost is a silver watch with a black leather strap. The watch is valuable to me monetarily and holds immense sentimental worth.

I last saw the watch in the seating area near the food court on June 17 at around 13:00 hours. I vividly remember taking it off while having lunch and placing it on the table. However, in the rush to leave, I accidentally left it behind. Upon realising my mistake, I returned to the area, but unfortunately, the watch was no longer there.

I kindly request that you initiate a thorough investigation into the matter. It would be greatly appreciated if you could review the CCTV footage from the mentioned seating area during the specified time frame. Additionally, please notify the mall's security personnel and staff members about the lost item in case it has been found and handed in.

I understand that it might be challenging to recover a lost item, but I genuinely hope that with your assistance, there is a possibility of locating and retrieving my watch. I eagerly await your response and remain hopeful for a positive outcome.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Rachel Matthews.

Dear College Accommodation Officer,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding my current dormitory room and to request a room change for the upcoming term.

I am currently residing in Room 304 in the Athena Block of the college dormitory. Unfortunately, I have been facing several issues that significantly impact my living conditions.

Firstly, the room is located near a noisy common area, making it difficult for me to concentrate on my studies and get a good night's sleep. The constant noise has been affecting my academics and overall well-being.

Moreover, the ventilation in the room is inadequate, resulting in poor air circulation and a stuffy environment. This has led to discomfort and health concerns, such as increased allergies and difficulty maintaining a clean living space.

Considering the previously mentioned problems, I kindly request that you arrange to change my room for the next term. I understand that room availability might be limited, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could prioritise my request and find a more suitable accommodation option for me. A quieter room with better ventilation would greatly contribute to my academic success and overall satisfaction with the college living experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the possibility of a room change. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.

Yours sincerely,

Rachel Matthews.

Dear Library Manager,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my interest in the job opportunity at the school library over the summer break. Please allow me to introduce myself and highlight my relevant experience and skills.

Dear Annie,

I wanted to share some exciting news with you—I'll be moving to the same city as you! I can't wait to explore New York together and create unforgettable memories. I would greatly appreciate your guidance and suggestions as I search for a place to live.

I was hoping you could provide some advice on the best neighbourhoods or areas to consider. I am looking for a comfortable and safe place, preferably within close proximity to public transportation. A one-bedroom apartment or a small studio would be ideal for me, as I prefer a cosy living space that is easy to maintain.

On another note, I've been researching some exciting activities and attractions in our new city. I would love to explore and immerse myself in the city's vibrant atmosphere. I'm also looking forward to trying different cuisines and discovering unique coffee shops, as I know how much we appreciate a good cup of coffee!

I am very grateful for your support and guidance during this transitional period. Your experience and recommendations will be invaluable. I cannot wait to join you in our new city and create lasting memories.

Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to our upcoming adventures!

Warmest regards,

Rachel.
