Your Email

Hi Alex,

I am writing to tell you about our flat before you move in on the fifth of next month.

Here are a few simple house rules to help us get along well. We are supposed to keep noise down after ten at night because the neighbors work early. Also, you are expected to tidy up the kitchen right after cooking. You needn't buy any plates or pots because we already have plenty in the cupboards.

As for shared chores, each person does a specific job every week. Sarah always takes out the rubbish, and I do the weekly bathroom cleaning.

Let me know if you have any questions at all. Write back soon.

Best,
Sam

This immediately explains the main reason for your email so the reader knows what to expect right away.

Using "we" shows that this rule applies to everyone in the flat equally, making the tone fair and friendly.

This states an important house habit clearly without using harsh words like "you must" or "you have to".

This reassures your friend that something is not necessary, helping them save time and money before moving in.

This is a warm, casual sign-off that invites your friend to reply and ask any questions before move-in day.
