Dear  Sir  or  Madam,

My  name  is  Tonia.  My  roommate  and  I  are  looking  for  a  nice  apartment  near  my  college’s  campus.  We  are  very  quiet  and  study  a  lot.  I  study  history,  and  my  roommate  studies  French.  We  are  very  interested    renting  your  apartment.  We  can    the  rent  on  time  because  we  do  a  part-time  work,  too.  Some  of  our  friends  live  in  the  same  building  and  have  recommended  your  place  to  us.  They  mentioned  that  you  are  a  kind  and  responsible  landlord,  and  we  hope  to    the  same  positive  experience.  I  would  like  to    an  appointment  to  view  the  apartment  in  person.  Our  application  form  is  ready,  and  we  are  prepared  to  proceed  with  the  process  quickly.  We  look    to  hearing  from  you  soon.

Best  regards,
Tonia
