A friend is considering buying a house nearby, but you have decided to leave the area due to a rise in crime. Write a letter to your friend advising them not to move into the neighbourhood. In your letter: - Recommend that your friend not go ahead with the purchase - Give the reasons behind your decision to leave - Suggest possible alternative areas that you know

Dear MK, I hope
this
letter finds you well. I have heard that you have decided to buy a home in the area where I live. So, I am writing
this
letter to let you know that unfortunately,
this
area is not safe at all as the crime rate has been increasing recently. Please don'
t
move into it. I have made up my mind to move out of
this
neighbourhood because I don'
t
feel safe living there.
Last
week there were a few people who broke into my neighbour's house and they stole his money and jewellery and
then
they stabbed him so badly ,
However
, the police couldn'
t
catch them so far.
additionally
,
last
month there were more than three crimes happened which ended up with my neighbour moving out as well. I'd like to suggest some alternative areas
such
as Simcoe St , Taunton or Rossland So, you can choose one of them to move in as these areas are very safe
according to
the reviews. please if you have any questions don'
t
hesitate to ask. Best regards, Iman
