Dear Neighbours, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Akshita Sharma, and I live in apartment 504, right opposite yours on the same floor. I was travelling last week when you moved in, so unfrotunately, I could not greet you in person. Let me briefly introduce myself. I work as a software engineer in a multinational company, and I live here with my parents. We have been in this building for almost four years now and absolutely love the friendly community. Our apartment is quite similar to yours, with two bedrooms and a balcony facing the society garden, which is a perfect spot for evening tea. Since we have not yet had the chance to interact properly, I would be delighted if you could join us for dinner at our place this Saturday evening around 7 p.m. It would be a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other better. We will be preparing a mix of traditional Inidan dishes, but please let me know if you have any food preferences or dietary restrictions. Looking forward to welcoming you. Warm regards, Akshita Sharma

To describe the house I live in, my living room is quite spacious and has a recliner sofa, on which we can relax and play some games to keep ourselves entertained. Furthermore, the kitchen is attached to the dining room, so it would make it easier for me to assemble the spread i have planned for dinner.You both have to try out my speciality, malai kofta with a side of naan paired with a mango lassi and finish off with "melt in your mouth" gulab jamuns. We also have an interesting display of some of the hand-painted artefacts that we got from India, and i would love to explain the significances behind those paintings. My home is quite cozy and comfortable, so I am sure that the both of you would have a good time.Looking forward to meeting the both of you next weekend. Warm regards, Nidhi

Dear Zack, I am Ben and I live on the same floor of the Regency apartment as you are. That makes us immediate neighbours. We are a family of four with my two children, my wife Rose and myself. We have been living in this apartment for the past twelve year from now. My family and I was on a vacation last week which is why why we couldn't catch-up when you moved in. Firstly, as neighbors I would like to welcome to this peaceful apartment. Our house has the same layout as yours but facing the club house. We usually spend a good amount of time at the club house during the weekends along with our children and other residents. Weekend gathering is one of the main highlights of our apartment residents. I strongly recommend you should stop by next weekend at the club house to meet other residents of the apartment. Another reason I am writing this letter is to invite you and your family for lunch next Saturday. We and our families could get to know each other well. Let me know if if the day suits you well and a fun time. Regards, Ben
