You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear …………………,

Dear Indi, I hope you are doing great! Thank you very much for agreeing to look after my house and my kitty Mia
this
weekend. As you know, I will be travelling to the UK
this
Thursday and will be back on Tuesday
next
week. You can reach me on my Messenger as always. I usually give food to Mia in the morning at around 10 and in the evening at around 6. Don't feed her more than twice a day as she is very addicted to the snacks I give her and too much food makes her sick. I placed the food basket on the table in the kitchen with all the snacks she eats.
Also
, she needs to get out to the garden every evening for her private "activities" if you know what I mean!
Also
, could you please water the plants that are out of the
first
-floor balcony? They don't need much water, just a cup per plant would be enough to keep them hydrated. If it rains, there are a couple of open windows right to the
first
-floor staircase that must be kept shut. Once again, thank you so much for
this
. I owe you big time! Yours faithfully, Ashani
