Dear Mr. Warner:
How are you? This is Xu, the student from China who will be boarding with you. I am honored by your hospitality and hope that you will forgive my limited English.
With respect to the boarding arrangement at your home, I have some questions that I hope you would be so kind as to help me with.
1. Would I need to bring beddings such as sheets, comforter, pillows, etc? If so, please let me know specifically what I should bring with me.
2. If I were to bring my notebook computer, is there a way for me to be connected to the internet in the room?
3. Aside from the basic necessities for everyday use, is there anything else that I should be bringing with me?
Best wishes for a happy new year to you and your family. I would like to show my appreciation by bringing with me some typical Chinese gifts as a new year present for you. I believe that we shall get along quite well!
Regards,
Xu
