你好，
我叫Burgin Badams，拥有一室的套房，由于我的人事调动，妻子和儿子也要跟我一起搬走，所以我想把房子出租，现在想寻找一个有责任感的人来打理房子，我们对租金没什么要求，但希望在我们不在的这段时间能保持房子的清洁。房客能把房子当作自己的房子看待。
目前，我们居住在西非的新住处，自从我不住在那房子起，我就把所有的注意力放在它的保养上。我留下了一些家具和电器，其中包括房租、DVD播放器，空调，报警器。厨房配有所有必需的烹饪用具、冰箱、四灶电磁炉、微波炉、洗碗机以及洗衣机，我的电脑可以拨号上网，还有所有房间的钥匙和租赁合同现在都在我这里，当我们达成协议后，我送过去给你。还有你要知道房租真得不是问题，希望你能接受800块这个价格，还免费提供水疗院、热洗衣设施、空调等等，但是你一定要保养好我的房子，这是非常重要的事情，那么，你可以将以下的申请表一起寄回给我。

一个叫 McWilliam 的人打电话询问房子的事情，我告诉他我不会把房子租给他，因为他喜欢抽烟喝酒，我不想有一天他喝醉了把我的房子弄得乱七八糟地，所以如果你有意向的话，我不收额外的费用。希望你给我来个电话，让我知道你是不是认真地。
今年，我有时会亲自去拜访我们的新房客。期待你的回复以及附上详细资料，以便我存档，方便到时开发票和联系你。期待你尽快回复，以便我们讨论如何订立租赁合同，并且把房子的钥匙给你。
谢谢！
