Dear Mari,

I am glad to be in touch with you so soon. I hope your mood has not changed since I last saw you.

Nevertheless, I have a piece of news for you. I have recently moved to another house in Boston.

Perhaps, I puzzle you with such delightful information but I have several reasons for this decision. I am sure you remember some problems with my walls and plenty of holes in the roof. Well, the situation became worse. When it was raining cats and dogs last week, my second floor was in water and this flood spread all over our house. Consequently, I made a decision to move.

My current house is much better than the previous one. I have two floors with two living rooms on the first and one on the second. Besides, my kitchen is on the left side next to the entrance and facilitates all useful opportunities for cooking. All walls on the first floor are painted light blue with tiny flowers on them, while the walls on the second floor are in pink shades. My bedroom is on the second floor and has access to the balcony.

I would highly appreciate, if you visit my house next week. You must see it with your own eyes. Based on my memory, you are busy all weekdays but you can be my guest on Sunday evening. Please write me your response as soon as possible.

Best wishes,

Maria.
