　　Dear_Jane，

　　I_know_you_will_go_back_to_the_US_to_visit_your_family_during_the_summer_holidays. But you can't leave your pet dog alone at home. I'm writing to tell you I don't have any travel plan for the summer holidays and that I'm willing to look after your pet dog when you are away. I am a genuine animal lover and I have looked after a range of pets including elderly cats in my home for 4 years and I'm very experienced in looking after animals. I'm sure I can take good care of your pet dog. I will give her food and water regularly. What's more, I know how to wash a dog to keep her clean. So please trust me and leave your dog with me. I'm sure she will be good when you come back.

　　I wish you a good trip and please give my regards to your family.

　　Yours，

　　Li_Hua
