Hi Shireen,

My name is Maria, and I am an incoming Literature graduate student from Bogota, Colombia. I am searching for a place to live in Santa Cruz for me and my cat, Lilith Sofia Butler. I am interested in subleasing your cottage. It seems to me it may be a very good option while I find a more permanent place. Is it pet friendly?

I'm only going to be able to move until mid-August (because of the VISA), but I am willing to pay for July rent.

A little about me: I was born in Bogota, Colombia, where I currently live. I got an MFA in creative writing in the University of Texas in El Paso. I am 28 years old. I am clean and tidy. I am a vegetarian. I love to read, watch movies, and play tennis.

Lilith is small, friendly, very well behaved and very talented.

I look forward to hearing from you,.

Sincerely,

Maria
