Dear Mr. Turner,
Thank you for sending us an e-mail regarding the property you saw on our website. I would like to let you know that it is still available. According to what you told me, it appears to be the ideal location for your diner. I’m very familiar with the building it is in. It has a large number of office workers. In addition, the neighborhood has a high amount of pedestrian traffic, so you should have no problem attracting customers.
Why don’t I show you the property? I’m available anytime this week. If you are familiar with the Atlanta area, I can meet you right in front of the property. If you’re not sure where it is, how about telling me where to meet you, and then I can pick you up and drive you there? Let me know which option you prefer.
Sincerely,
Marcie Aybar

Dear Ms. Aybar,
I appreciate your taking the time to meet me yesterday. The property you showed me looks to be perfect for the business that I intend to open. I’m very interested in renting the property and would like to sign a 2-year agreement at the soonest possible time.
There is one thing though. I noticed that the facilities in the property are a bit old. My guess is that it will require around $4,000 to $5,000 to upgrade everything. Normally, that would be the responsibility of the owner. In this case though, I’m willing to pay for all of the upgrades myself if I can get a reduction in the monthly rent I would be paying. If I can pay $500 less per month, I will visit your office tomorrow to sign a contract. I wonder if this is possible.
Sincerely,
Greg Turner
