In your letter • explain why you are selling • describe the furniture • suggest a date when your friend can come and see the furniture Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear ...............,
Dear Sarah,
We'll be moving to a new house shortly, as you know, and there are a few things I won'
t
be able to bring with me. Because the new house is a little smaller, I need to sell some of my belongings, and I was hoping you might be interested.
I'd like to sell my large dining table in particular
. Do you recall the one from the living room? It has wooden legs and a grey glass top, and it seats six people comfortably. It's accompanied by six matching chairs.
I know you've always enjoyed this
furniture, so I'd be willing to sell it to you for a reasonable price. I'd rather sell it to you than to someone I don't
know!
On Saturday, why don't
you come back and take another look at them? We'll be here all day, so why don't
we meet together for dinner?
Give me a call and let me know what's going on.
Love,
Rojin
