A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter • give contact details for when you are away • give instructions about how to care for your pet • describe other household duties

Dear Samantha, I just received your postcard in which you have mentioned that you would be able to look after my dog for a couple of days when I will be gone to meet my family overseas. I felt really delighted and much relieved after reading that you agreed. While I am away you can contact me anytime on my cell phone which is 902 549 2797 or you can call my father on 90412078754, if necessary as I will be home all day. About my dog, his name is Rocky and he is very friendly, so you can shake hands with him and play with him. I have kept his food on the shelf in the kitchen which includes a pedigree and some meat. Moreover, you can give him a bath at night and don’t forget to use his shampoo which is in the red-colored box in the bathroom. Take him for a walk, at least two times a day so that he can feel fresh. I do have some plants on the balcony, if you could water them daily it would be great. I know you don’t like to do brooming and mopping but as you know I will not be back for three weeks it would be really nice of you if you can do dusting once a week. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon and will bring you gifts after coming back! Warm Wishes, Shubhneek Kaur
Dear Samantha,

I
just
received your postcard in which you have mentioned that you would be able to look after my dog for a couple of days when I will
be gone
to
meet
my family overseas. I felt
really
delighted and much relieved after reading that you
agreed
. While I am away you can contact me anytime on my cell phone which is 902 549
2797 or
you can call my father on 90412078754, if necessary as I will be home all day.

About my dog, his name is
Rocky and
he is
very
friendly,
so
you can shake hands with him and play with him. I have
kept
his food on the shelf in the kitchen which includes a pedigree and
some
meat.
Moreover
, you can give him a bath at night and don’t forget to
use
his shampoo which is in the red-colored box in the bathroom. Take him for a walk, at least two times a day
so
that he can feel fresh.

I do have
some
plants on the balcony, if you could water them daily it would be great. I know you don’t like to do
brooming
and mopping
but
as you know I will not be back for three weeks it would be
really
nice of you if you can do dusting once a week.

I
am looking forward to hearing from you
soon
and will bring you gifts after coming back!

Warm Wishes,
