I have decided to travel to
Canada
with my wife as recently my son has completed his final semester exam. You have been living near my
apartment
for long days, and as my close friend, I am requesting you to take care of my two-storied
apartment
during the trip. I think you will be the best person to look after my
apartment
as you are living just 5 minutes walking distance from my
apartment
. There are some important tasks that usually need special attention every day
such
as my pet, and flower tree in the backyard garden. I am requesting you to ensure food for my loving pigeon thrice a day,
as well as
pouring water into the flower tree in the morning and evening time. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon regarding
this
matter. Yours lovingly, Faisal
