Your Answer ▼
Dear neighbour, (자, 지금 상황을 한번 보겠습니다. 이웃에게 집을 봐달라고 하는 상황이죠. 그러면, 기본적으로 당연히 어느정도의 친분이 있을 겁니다. 그런데 편지에서 '이웃에게' 라고 이름 없이 쓴다? 말이 안 됩니다. 편지글에서는 이러한 상황 설정이 중요하므로 주의해주세요!)
I hope this letter finds you well.
My name is Jin and I am your neighbour (여기도 위와 마찬가지입니다. 기본적으로 친분이 있는 이웃에게 부탁하는 게 당연하므로, '진' 이라는 이름만 쓰면 되지, '나는 네 이웃이야' 라고 쓸 필요는 없죠.). i I am writing this letter to ask a little favour of you.
To begin with (이 친구는 편지글에서 쓰이지 않습니다.), I am leaving to Canada for
holiday tomorrow, Saturday, and it will take approximately 3 weeks. However, I
am concerned with these followings; Firstly, I have not received my parcel that
my daughter sent me last week. I believe it will have arrived by next Monday.
Therefore, I would like to kindly ask you if you could put the parcel into my
house when postman comes? I will arrange you the copy of my house key for your
convenience. Secondly, I have been taking care of some orchid flowers on my
garden. If you would be able to pour a cup of water onto all those pots just once
a week while I am away, I would be really appreciated it. I mentioned it to a
friend of mine before, but unfortunately, he is now being hospitalised from a recent
car accident.
I am expressing my sincere appreciation
again for your kind consideration, and looking forward to hearing your answer
soon.
Best Regards,
Jin |
