Band 6+: You are going on holiday next week and you need to ask your friend to watch your dog while you are away. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter, • state how long you will be away • tell them what needs to be done • state how you will compensate them

Dear Tobi,

I’d like to let you know that I’d be going for vacation next week tuesday,and I’d really be grateful if you could keep my dogs for me.

Just to let you know that I’ll be away for a week because I’d be visiting the muson centre for two days and thereafter visit the renowned Obudu Ranch for another three days making a total of five days of being away from home.

To cater for my dog; Army, her daily routine is usually very easy and it includes giving her a warm bath every morning and evening,not forgetting her oral care, all her toiletries are in her bag. Moreso, she eats every four hours and likes taking lots of water after meals. Also remember to take her out for evening walks, that means a lot to her.

Trust me, there’s a reward attached to this favour. I’d pay you handsomely per day and also get your assorted snacks, on my way home, remember i know your favorites.

All the best,

Busayo.
