Hi John, I understand you're not thrilled about my cousin coming to live with us. I'm really sorry about that, but I hope you can understand. It's just for a year, and it would mean a lot to me if you could help out. We have a spare room that's been vacant, and we can easily give it to her. She's willing to pay a third of the rent, which would save us around $300 and really help our finances. Plus, she's a chef and loves to cook, so she'd be happy to help out in the kitchen, and we'd get to enjoy her delicious food. She's also very respectful of personal space and wouldn't interfere with your life or work. I'll make sure of that. I really hope you'll consider my request.
