+ear ,ary,
-ope you are doing well.
I.m doing fine, though my life is 'uite hectic at the moment because,
as you now, I am moving abroad and there is so much to do/
There are a few things that I can.t tae with me because they are too
big so I am seeing if any of my friends would be interested in buying
them. One of the things I do not want to tae with me is my television,
and I thought you might lie to buy it off me for a cheap price.
It.s a (%0 flat screen T1, and it.s a #hillips model. It has a 2S3 port so
you can 4ust plug in a thumb drive to watch movies or listen to music.
It has great stereo surround sound.
5s you now, I.m leaving the country at the end of the month, which is
only two wees away. So if you want to see it, it would be best to
come on %6th or %!st. That will give me time to sell it elsewhere if you
are not interested.
O, I loo forward to seeing you. Let me now if you can.t mae it.
5ll the best,
7ohn.

Overall it is a good answer meeting all the reuirements.
The !"#T$ letter addresses the three key points in the task about the
television % why it&s being sold (paragraphs ' and 2)( it&s des)ription
(paragraph *)( and some possible dates (paragraph +).
!t is )learly organi,ed with ea)h key point being addressed in a
separate paragraph.
