Dear TranQuille,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Margaret Scott, and I am writing to inquire about available accommodation options in New York city as I have recently been offered a scholarship to study abroad and will be relocating to New York.

I am scheduled to arrive on March 21st and am seeking accommodation within $280 per month. I am particularly interested in furnished apartments or studio flats located in safe and convenient neighborhoods with easy access to public transportation and amenities.

As a responsible tenant, I prioritize maintaining a clean and well-kept living space and can provide references from previous landlords if required. Additionally, I am open to discussing any specific requirements or preferences you may have regarding the rental property.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with information about the available housing options that meet my criteria, including rental rates, lease terms, and any additional fees or requirements. If possible, I would also like to schedule a viewing or discuss further details regarding the rental process.

Thank you for considering my inquiry. I am excited about the prospect of studying abroad and am eager to secure suitable accommodation for my stay. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards,

Margaret Scott
