Formal letter

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing to enquire about the house which you advertised in "El Pais" newspaper, 12th June.

I was wondering if the house is still available. I would also like to have some more information about the rent. I would be grateful if you could also tell me whether bills are included.With regard to bed-lining and dishes, could you tell me if they are provided?

Finally, I would like to know if pets are allowed, as I have a.............as a pet.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
--------    -----------------


* There is a mistake in the hand-out I gave you for the formal letter. At the end, it should say Yours sincerely, as the addressee is "Mr. .........." You write Yours faithfully when the addressee is "Sir/Madam".
