Sample Answer:

My dearest Andrew,

It was nice to hear from you. How are you? Hope you and your family are doing well by the grace of Almighty.

I am so pleased to hear that you’ve agreed to help me finding a suitable accommodation in Australia for the next trip. I hope I’ll be there on December 3, 2015. Anyway, the reason I’m writing is to describe my accommodation requirements. First of all, I, actually, am looking for a private studio apartment which should be equipped with modern facilities like hot showers, modern bedroom and kitchen, computer with Wi-Fi facility, laundry facility and so forth. Secondly, it should be near the bus stop so that I could easily use public transports. Most importantly, I’ll have some important belongings and that’s why there shouldn’t be any lack of security.

You don’t mind finding a suitable accommodation according to my expectation, do you? Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Lots of love,
George Mandel.
