Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing
this
epistle to obtain some information regarding accommodation
while
studying at your
college
. Let me put forth my affairs. Actually, I am enrolled in a full-time Laboratory Technician program in your
college
. The duration of the course is only 6 months. Classes begin on 6 June 2024 so, I will be arriving on 2 June 2024.
Moreover
, I am visiting
this
college
for the first time. I live in Calgary, Alberta which is far from Brampton. Owing to
this
I will be flying to reach my destination. Even though I have few friends and cousins living down in Brampton, I would love my personal space for my studies. A one-bedroom apartment with a personal kitchen and bathroom will be great. I would prefer a place near grocery stores, restaurants and all other amenities.
Although
, it is an extra affair for you,
however
, it would be kind of you if I could get some information regarding transportation for daily travel to
college
. Some more information
such
as bus maps, ride-sharing or subway maps will
also
be useful. I would really appreciate your support in
this
matter. Looking forward to a prompt reply. Yours faithfully, John
