18/10/2017 A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday.
Write a letter to your friend. In your letter
• give contact details for when you are away
• give instructions about how to care for your pet
• describe other household duties
Write at least 150 words.
You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear John,
To begin with, I want to thank you for your consent to look after my house and dog. Your help is indispensable and without it, I would not be able to have any vacation in a foreseen future. I leave the city on 29th March and return on 15th April. I am going to spend the first week of my holidays on sightseeing Sochi and then I plan to visit beaches of Cremia. My cell-phone will be “on” all the time and you can call me freely at any time. If you are not able to contact me by phone, write an email. The telephone numbers of my hotels, I will send you by SMS as soon as I book rooms.
I know you have a plethora of experience with pets but my dog has quite a difficult character. Feeding is the biggest problem if it doesn't want to eat, just ignore it: when the dog is hungry, it will eat whatever you put on its plate. Mike should be taken on a walk at least twice a day to make pee and poo outside the house. All needed equipment to clean after the dog is placed near the entrance.
There are some basic rules concerned living in my house. Firstly, plants ought to be watered thrice a week. Secondly, the lawn should be cut once a week. And finally, my payment to the landlady is planed on 5th April, your duty is to hand her the cash and ask her to count the money in front of you. Otherwise, she may claim you gave her only a half.
Once again, thank you for your help.
Sincerely yours,
Eugene Dubinchuk.

Dear Sir,
Dear Sir,
I would like to discuss my grammatical mistakes.
1) I leave the city on 29th March because it is scheduled. I implied that tickets have been purchased.
can I do it?
2)I am going to spend the first week of my holidays on sightseeing Sochi. (Spend on is a collocation. Usage of "in" appears to be a mistake.)
Thank you.
