Dear Leanne and Bryan Anderson,

We saw your listing in the HomeLink International Directory of May 2005 and on the
website and we are writing to say that we would be very interested in exchanging homes with you. Our HomeLink identification number is CA12345 and our offer is now posted on the HomeLink website. It also will appear in the January 2005 Directory. We are primarily interested in exchanging for the period of 2 to 3 weeks, although we would consider other proposals.

Please allow us to tell you a little about ourselves.

We are proud to say that our home is very comfortable and only 10 years old.
It has three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room with fireplace, a kitchen,
and a separate laundry room with washer and dryer.

:::::::::::::::::::: etc. :::::::::::::::::::::::

We can be contacted by phone, fax or email or regular mail, of course.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Yours Truly,

John and Lorraine Member
