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 is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the street. We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.
Love,
Shinta
