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,
Jaimini PatelYou are moving to a new city with your family. Write a letter to a real estate agent to enquire about accommodations. Include in your letter

Although mother and father both play a crucial role for proper upbringing their children.But there are some people who claim that,mothers are contribute much time then their father.On contrary,a substantial number of pupils are considered that fathers contribute a significant role in children’s life.But people have strong feelings about their arguments.However,in my opinion,father and mother both are equally dedicate themselves for caring.Both sides will be discussed before reaching a reasonable conclusion.
On the one hand, men have been more responsible to their children financially.Men spend their money for their offspring which is really difficult for women.Moreover,fathers are more serious to punish their children so that they avoid crimes.For instance,my younger cousin is now criminal it happened only for his mother because his mother always restrain his father to punish.Furthermore, father makes sure his children’s future about financial.
On the other hand, mothers have a closer sensational relationship with their offspring then fathers as well as bonding with mothers is more strong.Moreover, mothers spend much time with their children.In addition,in many countries women are not involved with working as a result they get escope to spend their time with their children.For instance, if a child is crying no one can control even after given so many toys wherever mother comes to child,stop crying .Furthermore,women are genetically efficient at upbringing.
To conclude, in my point of view,a kid needs enough affection and care of parents.But in our society women are superior at caring for their children.

There exist contrasting views about supervisors seeking some data, while employing new workers, about their likes and dislikes or their marital status that whether it is relevant or irrelevant to inquire about this information. There exist strong arguments in support of both sides of this debate, which implies it is worth examining both points of view before reaching any conclusion.
To commence with, it is vital to collect the necessary data about the fresh entrants in any organisation because it would give an idea about providing incentives to particular worker to boost the morale. Precisely, the management would be able to decide that whether reward should be monetary or non-monetary. To illustrate, a strong economy of Japan is evident because of contented workers due to the perfect recognition methodology adopted by the industrialists. It is, therefore, imperative to gather the requisite data to utilise it at a correct time.
On the contrary, every human has a different psychological pattern, and some employees may consider this as a wrong practice. As they would be creating a false and negative image about the company at a very initial stage, it would affect their output level deleteriously. A recent research in Europe, for example, proved that a colossal number of young working professionals did not perform well in beginning of their job because they were not pleased with the questions being asked during their interview. Hence, the reason of asking questions should be mentioned on company’s website to avoid any conflicts.
In conclusion, it can be reiterated that whereas demanding some information about their families from a fresh entrant could be proved advantageous for rewarding them, it might lead to a negative approach about the company. However, it would be a smart move, in my perspective, for strengthening the bond between factory and its workers.
