SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Susilo,
I am writing to ask you for some information that will help me make a decision. I have recently been offered a job in Bogor. I am very much interested in the job, but as you know, I have never even visited Surabaya. I am not sure whether I would like living there. Since you have lived there for a while, I thought you could answer some questions for me.
One thing, I am worried about the is the weather. I have heard that it rains in Bogor all the time. Is this true? It sounds very depressing. I have also heard that Bogor is a growing city, and I am afraid it would feel very crowded to me. I have never lived in a city before. Another thing I wonder about is leisure activities. I like going out fishing a lot. Are there good places to go fishing in Bogor? What about badminton court? I would not want to live in a place where I could not go to play badminton frequently.
Another important issue is housing. I have heard that Bogor is very expensive. Is it hard to find a nice housing at a reasonable rent. What neighborhoods would you recommend?
I appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions, and I look forward to hearing from you. If I decide to accept the job in Bogor, then I hope we will be able to get together frequently.
Best wishes,
Budiono
