MODEL ANSWER:

Dear Theresa,

I got your letter last weekend and happy to hear that you are doing well.

I learned from your letter that you have put in an offer on a house near Neosho Park. You might know that I reside in the very same locality, just a mile and a half from the house you are planning to buy.

I want to let you know a very serious matter. Do you know the fact that it’s very hard to live here? We do experience very frequent problems associated with crime in the area, particularly theft at night. The problem has worsened these days, and this has reduced the property demand here drastically.

I am desperate to leave the area with my family to Cox Street, which is located just outside the town. It’s a nice and peaceful place and I should recommend it for you. As it is in the outskirts, you can make a really worthy purchase.

Hope you act quick and wise.
