A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend. v. 2
Dear Ema, Thank you for agreeing to house-sit for me. It was a great relief when you agreed to take up the responsibilities. I would like to thank you for that and inform some of the chores you should take care of. If you need to contact me for any reason during my holiday in Thailand, please ring my mobile phone. I’ve written the numbers on a sticky note which I’ve left on the fridge. I will stay at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok hotel and if I change my hotel, I will inform you of that. Alternatively, you can message me on WhatsApp or Imo. My cat needs to be fed twice daily so each morning and evening put a handful of cat food in his dish. You will find these in the kitchen pantry. Also, please check throughout the day to make sure he has fresh water. You can give him a small bowl of milk in the evening. I would like you to water my plants, too. The indoor ones in the lounge only need water once every few days but the plants on the balcony need to be watered daily unless there has been heavy rain. Finally, for security, please clear my mailbox every day and keep the outside lights on at night. I look forward to seeing you on my return. Warm wishes, Sophia
