Dear Chris,

I am writing to let you know that I have moved to your city. Well, it is not as beautiful as you boasted about it. Just kidding, here the problem is I am looking for some place to live. I do not have a lot on my mind but a studio apartment would suit me the best. It does not necessarily have to be an apartment, a studio basement will be work too.

As you might be wondering, what has gotten into me that i am eager to rent a whole place rather than just a private room. To your no surprise, I ended up behind the bars over a feud with my former flat mate, now I yearn for privacy and isolation. Therefore, I can no longer want to share my space.

I am open to ideas, if you come up with any. And, I would love to pay for your drink next time we catch up only if you help me in suggesting some appropriate places that I could rent. P.S. a peaceful community would be a cherry on top.

Yours,

timmu
