Dear John, I hope
this
 letter finds you well and happy. It has been a
while
 since we see each other. I am very happy about your decision to move to New York, you should have decided earlier, but I am glad you
finally
 did. As you know the Big Apple has a lot of districts, and most of them are very expensive. I do not know how big your budget is, but if I were you I would definitely try to find a small apartment in Brooklyn first.
This
 neighbourhood is very nice and close to Manhattan,
furthermore
 is much cheaper. In my opinion, you should not worry about public transport, the city has a perfect underground train system. You will get without any problems to every important part of the city in less than 30 minutes.
Moreover
, the payment system is very straightforward and intuitive. There is no need to worry about buying any extra cards or tickets, you only need a mobile application with a payment card. New York is a very diverse city, you can meet people from around the world, and most of them are very friendly and nice.
Additionally
, people here are very open, and they love spending time together, so I am absolutely sure you will make new friends very fast. Look forward to hearing from you Best wishes, George
