Hi Tracey,
Greetings of the day! Hope you are keeping well.
The reason for my letter is that I have been offered a job in
this
prestigious FMCG company, however
, they request me to move to Colombo
due to the working schedules. Since you have been living in Colombo
for a long period of time, I'm sure you can help me to make myself comfortable here.
This
is my first
time in this
city I would require your assistance for a few days until I settle down. I am still not comfortable in terms of public transport which includes the bus and train schedules, which I need to get to know since I have to travel daily to work. Moreover
, I am planning to move in all by myself so I need to know a few things about the surroundings as well.
Please let me know how are the people in Colombo
generally. Can you please tell me if is it safe security-wise to live alone? Are there places that I could buy food for a considerably cheaper amount close by to my area ? What is the average accommodation cost here?
While I am excited about the opportunity I hope I could get some tips to adjust and fit in here in Colombo
from you.
Looking forward to your earliest response.
Thank you!
