Dear Sam,

Thank you for agreeing to House-sit while I am away. I will be always keeping my phone on me so, buzz me up anytime. I will be staying at the J W Marriott, Atlanta. I will also leave the contact details of my friends on the fridge magnet.

My dog eats his meals twice a day and snack in the afternoon. All his food is in the bottom shelf of the pantry. Please keep on re-filling his water bowl. He likes to go for a walk in the morning in the community park and loves the sunset on the small beach at Port Dover.

The cleaners will be coming in on Tuesday, you just need to be in the house when they do their thing. Also, I would appreciate if you water the plants on the balcony every morning. You don’t need to water them if it’s gonna rain. When I come back, we will go out and the first round will be on me.

See you soon,

Mansi
