Band 7+: You live in the USA and your family has a spare room to rent out to a student. Write a letter to the accommodation officer of the University of America. In your letter describe the room describe the type of tenant you want give information about your family and rent that you expect to charge

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing this letter to inform you that I have a spare room in my house to let in a student. I live in a double storey house where the basement room is on offer for a tenant. The room is spacious; has all the facilities including a television and central heating. Also, it has a separate door so the student can have independence.

I prefer an overseas student preferably a female and from the Indian sub-continent so that she can easily befriend our family. Moreover, I would also prefer a graduate student because, I think they are more sincere and responsible. However, the latter is not a compulsory criterion.

I live with my wife and daugher. Presently, my wife lives at home to look after my daughter who is 2 years old. I am expecting a monthly rent of $500 which excludes the telephone bill (subject to the usage) and cleaner charges which are $50 a month for the room.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Mohammad Hashim
