Dear John, Thank you for agreeing to house-sit for me. It was a huge relief to have you by my side and look after my child and house when I’ll be away for drinking. If you need to contact me for any reason, call me on my number or ping me on WhatsApp. In case of any emergency or if my number is not reachable, you can contact me on the numbers of my teammates which I had put on sticky notes

the fridge. Oh! I forgot to tell you about the instructions for babysitting my child James. Prepare the soup for him in the night and feed her only when it is less hot. Don’t forget to change his diaper before he goes to sleep. I know it sounds boring to you, but can you place the trash can outside the house? The garbage truck will collect it in the morning. Make sure to turn on the garden lights at night and lock the door completely. Eagerly waiting to meet you on my return from the party in the morning. Yours lovingly, Jagandeep

  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
