Checking your Premium access…
Your message could look like this.
An example with an invented name and address. Use it for inspiration and include only facts that are true for you.
Do not promise more than you can deliver. You do not need grand words or a long list of qualities.
Hello I would like to apply for the apartment at Skovvej 12. My name is Sara and I am looking for a home for myself. I work in childcare and would like to live closer to work. The size suits me well, and I like that there is a balcony. I can move in on 1 November. Would a viewing be possible? Kind regards Sara
