You have just returned from a long holiday. While you were away, your friend looked after your house. Write a letter to you friend. In your letter - thank you friend for the things she/he did for you - offer to reimburse any money she/he spent on doing these things - arrange to meet your friend for a coffee late this week.
Dear Jane.
Finally
, I'm back! I can't thank you enough for watching over my house and properties while
I was away. It must have been very tasking but you came through, and I sincerely appreciate every bit of it.
Although
, I knew you did this
for me out of kindness, however
, I would love to reimburse you for any expenses you must have incurred while
safe guarding
the house. Correct your spelling
safeguarding
Moreover
, I found out that you bought soaps to clean the windows and dishes, and I genuinely would love to compensate you for everything.
Anyway, now that I am free, I would love it if we could have a dinner hangout over the weekend and maybe from there we could go to the cinema as well. I have made reservations at the newly built restaurant in the city centre for this
Saturday by 8pm and I will take care of the whole expenses. Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could come with your daughter so that we could both share a beautiful memory together with
her.
I can't wait to see you again.
Warm wishes,
