Dear Tom,

I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits. I’m writing to remind you about the promise you made to look after my house while I am away on vacation.

I will be leaving next week, on 15th March, and I would be grateful if you could take care of both my house and my dog. During the trip, I won’t be checking my emails, but if you need anything, feel free to call me on my cell phone at +1 333 444 4444. I will also be active on social media, so we can use it to stay in touch.

As for Jack, my dog, he needs a morning walk every day. Please make sure you take him out around 8 AM. His food is in the cupboard above the kitchen sink. Kindly feed him twice daily – once in the morning and again around 7 PM.

While you’re at the house, feel free to relax and enjoy the gaming room. However, please remember to turn off all switches at night, as the electricity bill has been quite high recently. On Tuesday, kindly take the garbage bin out to the roadside and bring it back in once it has been emptied.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. I truly appreciate it.

Your friend,

Ngawang Chhiri Sherpa
