Dear Oscar,

I glad that you accepted to take care of my house and Milo while I am on holiday. Milo is my dog that I took from the shelter last month. Thank you for this. I am writing this letter about how you should look after my dog and flat.

You should give pet food to Milo three times a day and walk with him in the park next to the school at nearly 2 p.m. Also, my flat may sometimes be dirty because of Milo’s fur. In this case, you can vacuum the living room and kitchen. At the same time, my clothes were hanging on the balcony. When I went out, I forgot to put them inside. If you move them, I will be happy.

I want to say thank you again. If you have any trouble, you can contact me by phone at any time.

See you soon.
