Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request a student accommodation at the school residence in summer 2024. I will need a room and would arrive a month before my resumption date.

Currently, I am an international student enrolled for summer term to study two years postgraduate diploma in Business Analytics and Supply Chian Management at The University of New Zealand.

Therefore, I need an accommodation in the school residence for a single lady as well as a quiet clean and outgoing flat mate who can show around. An old student preferably as I would the guidance, this is my first time away from home.

Even though my classes are scheduled to start in May, however, I will be arriving in April, that is a month before. This will allow me some time to soak in the environment and meet new people.

Respond at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully,

Eby Eby.
