Dear Mr. Conner

I was very interested in your recent advertisement. I am seeking a residence that can accommodate an art studio and possibly hold private exhibitions for the work I do. One of the listed places sounds like it could be suitable for my needs. Therefore, I would like to meet with you soon to take a look at the place. Could you please let me know when a good time for you is? I am okay this week except for Wednesday evening. Please get back to  be as soon as possible.

Thank so much for your attention
