Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Milad Rahimi and I have registered in one of your rooms for two weeks during my homestay’ program in New Zealand. I am very pleased that I can spend my vacation with your family and I’m writing to ask you for some advice.

​

I always was fascinated by your country and I am really happy that I can be with your family which would help me to learn a lot of things about your culture and way of life. As it is the first time I am coming to New Zealand, I am not familiar with the weather and I don’t know what kind of clothes I should bring. Would you please let me know how the quality of weather in New Zealand in the middle of September is? Also, I am a vegetarian person and I’m afraid that you would prepare appreciated foods for someone like me.

As you know, I will arrive there on 20 September and according to my ticket arrival details, I would be there at 4 pm in the airport, absolutely if I won’t have any delay in my flight.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours Sincerely

Milad Rahimi
