my birthday party.
In addition
, I was paying my utility on time.
Moreover
, I have painted the door hall and fixed the kitchen key but, I didn't ask for money from you. I rent my new
apartment
and I must pay the first and
last
payment as in other contracts. I would be appreciated it if you return my
deposit
as soon as possible. I left the
apartment
last
week without my
deposit
, I would like to say if you are reluctant to my request regarding my
deposit
, I will make a complaint for you and my lawyer will talk to you
instead
of me. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Sara Seifi

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly

  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
