Dear Mr. Garg,
I am writing this letter to seek some information about rental accommodation properties in Ahmedabad. I plan to move there with my family by the end of this month.
Currently, I am living in Surat. Recently, I got promoted to higher-level position in my company. As a plan of expansion, the organization has decided to start a new office there and I will be responsible for looking after that. So I have to shift there.
Furthermore, our new planned office is located by S.G.Highway. As I am not very familiar with the city, I would like to rent property in the nearby area. Someone has suggested Satellite and Thaltej, I want to consider that too.
I am moving there with my husband and two kids, the house needs to have at least 2 bedrooms. Additionally, it needs to be semi-furnished especially in the kitchen with a gas connection. My kids are still young so it needs to be safer for them.
It would be great for me if you could send me some details prior to our moving with concerns terms. I am looking forward to your positive reply.
Yours faithfully,
