Room mate wanted ad.

I have 1 room to rent in my home in 3 Street , 28th Villa Mella . It’s a quiet area with
plenty of street parking, so If you have a car, you can typically find parking right in
front. If not, we have local shops nearby and public transportation as well. The room is
furnished with bed, dresser and TV. Cable TV and wifi included in rent. Other utilities
are not included. Your cut will be about RD$ 5,000.00 per month. My new roommate
will have access to the common areas of the home, living room, kitchen and bathroom.
Ideally, I’m looking for someone to stay at least six months, a non smoker, and not to
noisy. If this sounds like it might suit you, contact me at (809)555.5555. Thanks.

Yours sincerely, Loris A. Justo.
