Dear Mike, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to check whether you would like to buy some of my furniture as I plan to put them on sale. I just got a new job with ABC company, which is located on G567 Road, as you know where I am living now is quite far from the office, so to save time, I've decided to rent a new apartment nearby.

Firstly

, it is pretty small so I don't think it has the capacity of all my current furniture which is big.

In addition

, I do not want to spend too much on moving,

therefore

, I'd like to sell some. I know you like my sofa very much so I want to check with you first. As you know, it is the black one in my living room. It cost a fortune when I bought it

last

year from IKEA. It still looks pretty new. As I remember, you mentioned

last

time you would like to buy the same one for your new house, but I think it's out of stock now. So, please take into account whether you want it. If yes, I would give you a good discount.

Furthermore

, I want to sell my bed, chairs, and table as well. I hope you could visit

this

Sunday so that you can check them out and

further

consider whether you'd like to take some. I am sure you will not be back with empty hands. I cannot wait for you to come. If any questions you may have, please feel free to call me. Take care, Best regards, Jason
