Hi,
I sawyour ad looking for a flatmate and wondered if you were still looking for someone? I’m going to be doing a semester at the University of Oxford, and my original housing plans fell through, so now I’m scrambling to find a new place to live. Your flat looks close to the campus, and I think it would be a perfect fit.
Please let me know if it’s still available.

Avery,
Yes,I’m still looking for a flatmate. Oxford University is only about a ten-minute walk from the front door. I’m sure you saw in the listing, but it’s a two-bedroom, two bathrooms. I travel a lot for work so I won’t be there much, which is why I wanted a flatmate. It will be nice to know that someone is there to watch the place.
I’m a bit of a neat freak, so I’m looking for someone who won’t be too messy and can clean up after themselves. Would you mind telling me a little more about yourself? What are you studying, and what dates would you be here?
Sincerely,
Oliver

Oliver,
I’m a neat freak too!You won’t have to worry about messes or anything, and I would help with cleaning and cooking. I love to cook, so I don’t mind making dinner and stuff for both of us. When you’re in town, that is.
I’m studyingEnglish Literature and hoping to become an editor in a publishing house after I graduate. I only have one more year left to go until I graduate. It’s always been my dream to attend Oxford and see all of England. I want to see where Shakespeare wrote and the architecture and places that inspired so many wonderful stories. I’m at New York University right now, but I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, and I’m excited to get out and see more of the world than farmland or New York.
What doyou do for a living?
I’ll be thereJuly 24th to December 20th. I’m coming a few days before the start of semester, if that’s okay?
Looking forward to your reply.
Avery
