Sample answer:
Dear Marybeth,
I trust this letter finds you well. Regrettably, I am unable to personally greet you upon your arrival due to my unconventional work hours this week. However, I have meticulously arranged alternatives in case I am unable to meet you after your arduous train journey. Please consider using public transport, specifically bus number 249, as it not only provides a more convenient and cost-effective mode of transportation compared to a taxi but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
Upon arriving at the "Jackson Avenue SW" bus stop, a brief stroll down to the river will lead you to a prominent rock with the inscription "Kirill Aminov." Taking a step back from this landmark will reveal my residence – a place I affectionately call home.
Firstly, unlock the secure chest box adjacent to the front door using the password: 0752. This will grant you access to the house until my return from work.
I have planned a delightful evening for us, featuring a variety of entertainment such as film watching, engaging table games, and the highlight of the night – a hands-on cocktail preparation masterclass.
Should you have any inquiries or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. I eagerly anticipate our time together.
Warm regards,
Kirill
Sample answer 2:
Dear Sara,
I trust this letter finds you well as you prepare for your journey. I'm eagerly anticipating your visit, though regrettably, I won't be able to pick you up from the train station due to an additional hospital shift.
Notwithstanding, I've meticulously devised a plan to ensure your arrival is seamless. Upon disembarking at the train station, please board bus number 5 on the same side of the road. Alight at 6th Ave SW, just opposite a quaint vintage crockery store. From there, head towards the striking blue skyscraper, where my new apartment is located. Upon reaching the reception, kindly introduce yourself to the concierge, who will promptly provide you with the keys.
Should you require any guidance, please approach her with utmost politeness, considering her discerning eye. Following key retrieval, utilize the left elevator to ascend to the 18th floor, where my apartment, identified by number 273, awaits.
I anticipate my return home by 6 p.m. Please make yourself at home, and we can plan an enjoyable evening together.
Eagerly awaiting your arrival!
Warm regards, Olga
