Dear Paul
A. Now, as for the flat itself, I’ve made up the bed for you in the spare room so
you won’t need to bring a sleeping-bag.
B. She’ll be working nights at the hospital next week so you’ll have to pick them
up by seven at the latest, which is when she sets off for work.
C. This is just a short note to let you know what arrangements I’ve made for you to
stay in the flat next week.
D. The first is to water all the plants at least once while you are there, preferably
towards the end of the week.
E. Incidentally, you’ll find the central heating controls in the same cupboard, on
the right-hand wall next to the hot water tank.
F. By the way, I wonder if you could remember to do a couple of things for me
during your stay?
G. You can’t miss it. It’s the enormous building on your right as you walk up the
hill from the tube station.
H. Well, I think that’s about everything.
I. If you find you are not warm enough at night, there are some extra blankets in
the airing cupboard in the bathroom.
J. If, for any reason, you get there after that time, she’ll leave them with the recep-
tionist at the hospital.
K. Have a good week in London and thanks again for “flatsitting ”!
L. And the other is to make sure that you close all the windows and double-lock
the door when you go out.
