You are going to work in another city for a year. A friend who lives there offered to help you find a place to live. Write a letter to your friend: • Express your gratitude to him/her • Describe the area that you want to live in • Explain what type of accommodation you are looking for

Dear Suriya Thank you so much for supporting me in the process of house hunting. I am now stress-free in finding a good accommodation point and you have made it much easier. My office is located in the central town and it would be much helpful if the room is in the vicinity of my office. I would prefer a calm and residential locality
that is
away from the chaos of the city. I don't have any preferences for the food, as it is taken care of by my company. I am open to sharing but I would like to have my private room. I prefer a gated community, as that would suit better for my lifestyle. As the rent is considered, I like to have it in the range of $40 to $50. Take a list of the options available and we will finalize it once I land in your home town. Warm Regards Hari Vignesh
