Dear Sveta,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing this letter to you to share a kind of awesome news! As you know, I’ve been putting money aside for a ages and now, finally, my nest egg is completely full that’s why I am going to indulge myself in a way. My guilty pleasure is Italian cars, especially, Ferrarri, I truly believe that it is a divine masterpiece of car manufacture! However, buying this car also demands additional expenses such ensurance and spare tires. As far as I know, you are into cars as well so I’d like you to buy my old one,Volkswagen, from me.

To start with, the Volkswagen is impeccably reliable and family friendly indeed. I guess, for you this fact is extremelly relevant as you are a bread-winner in your family and have got to drop and pick up your children from various hobby clubs. Never have you ever seen such an easy to drive automobile! What is more, I have had MOT done recently, so car maintenance, oil and filter change are not troublesome at all! When it comes to the condition of the Volkswagen, there is a little nitpicking moment such as a barely noticeable scratch on the right wing of the car, a bit damaged, you know. Considering the mileage, it is only 18.000 kilometres, as though I bought it only yesterday!

Why don’t you come over to see it yourself one day? I’m honeslty willing you to possess this German angel and relish each time you start its engine. If everything goes well, we will discuss details face to face and sign a sales contract.If you need to know anything else, just get in touch with me as soon as you can.

I’m looking forward to your positive reply!

Loads of love,

Tanya
