Five months ago, you started renting an apartment on a six-month agreement. You now wish to stay in the apartment for longer than the six months you originally agreed with the owner. Write a letter to the owner of your apartment. In your letter • say how long you now want to rent the apartment for • explain why your plans have changed • tell the owner about a problem in the apartment
Dear Mr Brown
I am writing you
this
letter to let you know that I would like to stay in the apartment for another 6 months. I wanted to buy my family house as planned, but due to
financial issues, I can not afford it right now. I really like this
place, therefore
, I don't want to look for another residence to rent. Besides
, this
location is near my workplace which is a great advantage since I don't have to take the bus.
The apartment itself has many great features, such
as its little balcony, which has an amazing view of the city and also
, a great place to relax. Add a missing verb
is also
Moreover
, I love the colour of the kitchen wall; although
, there are lots of cracks in it. It would be much better if you could make that fixed.
Thank you for considering my request.
I am looking forward to your response.
Best regard
