SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear
As you know, I’ll be going home at the end of term and I’ve decided to sell my bicycle-it would cost me a fortune; too much to ship it to my hometown. I just wanted to know if you might be interested in buying it.
It’s a mountain bike, four years old now, and it was brand new when I bought it. It is green and black with a silver stripe. I have looked after it very well; having it serviced every year. The tyres are in very good condition. And the speedometer is so accurate. I am happy to include lights and a cycling helmet in the price. It’s a Raleigh bicycle- very good design and I want to sell it for around £40.
Why don’t you come round and have a look sometime? I’m sure it won’t let you down. What about next Saturday morning when we don’t have classes.
Give me a call and let me know.
See you,
John
