The crew members quickly addressed all issues, replacing smoke detectors, changing filters in my furnace, and weatherproofing windows before the cold season set in.
I will let you know my new address as soon as I have one. — [4] —. You can always reach me on my mobile phone, 613-555-0129.
Sincerely,

Thank you for your e-mail. I can confirm that your shipment is now in transit. I apologise for the longer-than-expected wait.
