Dear Vincent,

How are you? I’m sorry it’s been so long since we were in touch. I’ll be away for a week, from 2 July to 9 July, and I’m hoping you can look after my two fish and my peace lily while I’m gone.

The job is simple. Each morning give the fish one level scoop of flakes—the tub and spoon are in the cupboard below the tank—and please don’t add extra because it clouds the water. The plant only needs a drink every two or three days; just pour in enough water to keep the soil slightly damp.

If you can do this favour, I’ll leave $200 on the kitchen counter for your trouble. Help yourself to tea or coffee in the living room and feel free to relax with Netflix on the TV whenever you drop by.

It would be wonderful if you could help, but I understand if you’re busy—just let me know either way.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Rusira
