Dear John,

How have you been ?

The reason I am writing to you is because I will be on vacation with my mother in Krakow for 2 weeks. I would like to request a favor from you, could you please feed my cat and water the plants while I am away on vacation ?

The cat food is kept in the lower cabinet in the kitchen right next to the refrigerator. Once you open the cabinet you will see a green container with the label “Flapjack’s food” please feed her at around 6 pm. In addition, could you make sure her water bowl is refilled every day ?

As for the plants, The two large plants right next to the window need roughly half a liter of water every 2 days. The smaller plants in my room need about a quarter of a liter every 2 days each.

If anything urgent comes up or something happens to Flapjack make sure to give me a call, my cellphone number is this +381 64 38157. I am truly grateful for your help and will make sure to bring you a souvenir from Krakow !

Best regards
