Dear Irina,

I must apologise for being very late with this email. In August, you helped me by arranging a flat in St Petersburg for 2 weeks. I just wanted to say thank you. The flat was very comfortable and very well located. Tatiana (the landlady) was charming and helpful, and also spoke very good English, which was a big help.

I enjoyed St Petersburg very much - it was lively and beautiful and the buildings and art were fantastic! I hope to be able to visit again someday.

So, thank you for all of your help. And I am sorry to take so long to get back to you. Work and other things have been very hectic, and I feel like I am just now having a chance to relax.

Thank you,
Edward
