THE EXAMPLE OF PERSONAL LETTER

Jl. Plamboyan No. 89 Pemalang

2nd Pebruary 2009

​

Dear Intan

Intan, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last month and we’ve been really busy getting settled. It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the kitchen.

The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.

We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.

​

Love Shinta
