Dear Tom

I hope this letter fiinds you in good health and best of spirits. I’m writing to remind you about promise that you made, to look after my house when I go for my vacation.

I will be leaving next week i.e 15th March so please make sure that you take out the time to guard my house and take care of my dog. During the trip, I won’t be using my emails, however if you need anything or something comes up then you can directly call me on my cell phone, +1 333 444 4444. I will also be active on social media, we can use it to stay in touch.

Jack, my dog, he needs to go for a walk everymorning. So, please make sure that you get the time to take him out. And for his food, it’s inside the cupboard which is ontop of the sink in the kitchen. Make sure to feed him twice a day, morning around 8 am and evening around 7 pm.

When you are at the house, you can just relax and use the gaming room to enjoy. But make sure that you turn off all the switiches at night as lately the electicity bill is high. On Tuesday, please take out the garbage bin and put it beside the road and make sure to bring it back in once the bin is clear.

Thank you in advance for taking out your time in looking after my house.

Your friend
