(then your reason for writing the letter). for example: I saw your message about wanting to stay in my flat, and I am glad you have agreed to stay in my flat and look after it while I go away during the long school vacation. I am writing this letter to explain things to you about my flat, and some instructions on what to do. The flat is located in 3052 Gahood Villas.

- you letter is grammatically correct and that is very good. -in english, when writing an informal letter, you have to always start with greetings and small talk because this is a friend and not just straight to business. so before you start talking about the apartment, and things to do, greet them and make a bit of small talk -after you greeting, you also have to make sure that state the purpose of the letter. “you decided you would stay in my house, so i’m writing this letter to explain ….” -when finishing an informal letter, there is always a regard before you write your name. for example: “your sincerely, li.”
