Dear

Dear Sanya Hope
this
letter of mine finds you in good health and in high spirits . For 2 years my family planning for
this
holiday.
Finally
, we are going to Egypt for 7 days and I am very happy that you have agreed to look after my house and pet. As you know how I love my sniffer please make sure to call her doctor in case you need it. We have a flight on 12th May so you have to come the next day to manage. You can contact me on WhatsApp number 45546566.As we are already on Snapchat I will be available there and in case of an emergency you can contact my uncle if I am not able to connect with you at that time , I already wrote it down in my diary for you which is kept on the coffee table behind the window. You already know how much I am concerned about my Snifer he is not only my pet but
also
my small brother so for him, you have to be punctual about his meals.
Although
you are
also
a pet lover that's why I feel relieved you must know that Snifer is allergic to carrots and curd so must avoid giving
this
.
Moreover
, for medication, you have to give 3 deworming tablets for two days and make sure that he will sleep in his bed only not on the carpet or sofa at night. Hope you do not find it difficult in
this
condition. Another household task which is important to know is that we have a water motor which works manually so you have to make sure to on and off timely . Perhaps wifi and parcels were coming in between these days for that just sign on receiving paper as payment was already done.Anyhow you need instructions for digital appliances you must read the diary kept there in the upper self of the kitchen.Hope you find it easy and comfortable
while
doing all these responsibilities. See you soon, Sinja Tiwari
