payment to you.
Due to the limited time that we have before my arrival,i will be making
and arrangements with a furniture company to supply the home with furnit
ure,so we will need you to provide us with the measurements of the
living room and bedroom so that i can send it to the furniture
company so that they can supply the unit with furniture that will fit
in well.As regards the lease agreement,i want you to send it to me for my
review,i will eventually have it filled and signed on my arrival in
