Dear Margaret, It was good to see you at the Jones’ party last weekend. I thought of writing to tell you that I am unable to babysit Rihanna, this weekend. I did get the message from my mother that you needed me to babysit Rihanna this weekend. Though I’d love to look after her, unfortunately, I have already committed to another family. I’m sure you know the Harringtons who live in the flat below ours. They have a scheduled appointment with the doctor and hence asked me to look after their son Johnny. Though Mom didn’t mention it, I wonder whether you can postpone your work to the next weekend. Next weekend I have no plans, and would love to help you out. The alternative is still open that in case you do have to do the work this week itself, you could drop Rihanna home and I could take care of both kids simultaneously. Please do let me know so that I could block the next weekend for you. Also, mom had mentioned that you had asked for the charges for babysitting. I do charge $10 per hour, which would also include preparing the food that she would eat. Do let me know soon. Lots of love Yours sincerely Maria.
Dear Margaret,

It was
good
to
see
you at the Jones’ party last
weekend
. I
thought
of writing to
tell
you that I am unable to babysit Rihanna, this weekend.

I did
get
the message from my mother that you needed me to babysit Rihanna this
weekend
. Though I’d
love
to look after her, unfortunately, I have already committed to another family. I’m sure you know the
Harringtons
who
live
in the flat below ours. They have a scheduled appointment with the doctor and
hence
asked me to look after their son Johnny.

Though Mom didn’t mention it, I wonder whether you can postpone your work to the
next
weekend
.
Next
weekend
I have no plans, and would
love
to
help
you out.
The alternative is
still
open that in case you do
have to
do the work this week itself, you could drop Rihanna home and I could take care of both kids
simultaneously
.
Please
do
let
me know
so
that I could block the
next
weekend
for you.

Also
, mom had mentioned that you had
asked for
the charges for babysitting. I do charge $10 per hour, which would
also
include preparing the food that she would eat.

Do
let
me know
soon
. Lots of
love


Yours
sincerely


Maria.
