Subject: The new room of the crazy house
Dear Nick,
I received your email last night. I think your room at the Crazy House Hotel is very messy and uncomfortable. You should move to another room.
In the new room, there are two windows. There is a sofa with a table and two stools. There is a fireplace next to the door. There is a wardrobe next to the bed. On the wall next to the bed, there is a map of Vietnam and a beautiful picture of Love valley.
I think you will like it. It’s great, isn’t it?
See you soon.
