Your friend is coming over to stay with you. However, you will be away on vacation for a month. Write him/her a letter and say: - how to get the keys to your flat, - how to operate the equipment in the flat, and - suggest a few places of interest to visit.
Hey Navu,
How’re you? I hope
this
letter finds you in good health and high spirits.
I hope you’re as excited as I am about your visit to my city; however
, I’ll be away for a month on my pre-booked vacation. But I’ve made all the necessary arrangements to make sure your stay is comfortable.
I’ll leave on Sunday evening and hand over the house keys to the manager of my apartment. I told her about your stay, so on your arrival you can pick keys from her. She will be available in her office, which is on the left side when you enter the building.
As you know, I live in a skyscraper with modern equipment and facilities. I will switch off the gas to avoid any mishappening and you can turn it on after you reach the condo. Moreover
, you can locate the temperature control remote underneath the TV table. If you are unsure how to handle any equipment, you can call 5678 to get assistance from the building manager.
And yes, as you are visiting here for the first time, I would suggest you explore the city downtown and enjoy local cuisines. Additionally
, you should go to the beach and go boating. Cafe VH is also
a must-visit, especially for you as a coffee lover. My friend Arjun will accompany you on the weekend so that we can make your stay unforgettable.
Write back if you need any other information. Have a safe journey!
Cheers,

Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
