Sample Answer

Dear Xerxes,

How is everything at your end? I’m writing this letter to let you know that I’m planning to sell some of the furniture I have. Actually, it slipped from my memory to tell you that I’m relocating to a different city as I’ve changed the organization I was working for. So, I think it would be really onerous to take all of this furniture along. You know how I adore them all, and rather selling it to someone else, I would have you as a buyer.

So, all I’m planning to sell is the sofa set which you love to spring on every time you come, a chandelier that I got last year and a showcase built of European Oak wood, and a shelf made up of Akasa wood.

Why don’t you come and have a look next week? It would be better to talk about it face to face. I shall be waiting for you.

Much love,

Prakhar Panchbhaiya

Soon after graduating with a Master’s in Literature from Southern Arkansas University, she joined an institute as an English language trainer. She has had innumerous student interactions and has produced a couple of research papers on English language teaching. She soon found that non-native speakers struggled to meet the English language requirements set by foreign universities. It was when she decided to jump ship into IELTS training. From then on, she has been mentoring IELTS aspirants. She joined IELTSMaterial about a year ago, and her contributions have been exceptional. Her essay ideas and vocabulary have taken many students to a band 9.
