Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon 1442 Saddleback Road Mesa，AX 85205 Dear Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon，
I am writing this letter to congratulate you on your new purchase of a house in the Dobson Ranch area．We feel that this is one of the best neighborhoods of high quality in the city of Mesa，and we are happy to be able to call you neighbors．
For your information，there are a few things we would like to tell you．One is that there are certain duties that go with living in Dobson Ranch．In order to keep property （房地产） values at the highest possible levels，we insist that everyone who lives in Dobson Ranch take care of their property．This means that the grass needs to be cut regularly，branches of the trees and bushes should be cut off，and there should be no unattractive additions to houses，nor should houses be painted in colors like red or blue．If you want to make any additions to your house，you need our permission first．
The people of Dobson Ranch also have monthly meetings to discuss various issues of concern in our community．You are welcome to attend．We typically hold meetings on the first Saturday of every month at 7：00 PM at the Dobson Ranch Community Center．You will receive a notice via e-mail a few days before every meeting as a reminder．We hope that you will join us as much as you see fit．
Again，welcome to the neighborhood，and I look forward to meeting you soon．
Sincerely
Juan Sanchez
President
Dobson Ranch Housing Association
October 20 Dear Mr Sanchez，
Thank yo u very much for your letter welcoming us to the neighborhood．My wife and I appreciate your concern，and we also appreciate you letting us know about the various rules that apply to this neighborhood．Please do not worry about us．No matter where we live，we always try to be neighbors taking care to do our work properly．We too are well aware of property values．To be honest，we are actually pleased that there are regulations that must be obeyed．In the past，we have had neighbors who have not taken care of their homes and yards； at least we know that we will not have to worry about that here．
As for the meetings，thank you for your kind invitation，but tm afraid that you probably won't see us too often．My work takes me out of town，so when I，m not traveling，I prefer to stay home．Similarly，my wife works long hours at the hospital and prefers to spend her days off relaxing at home．However，if we have the time，we will try to make it to a meeting．Again，thank you for welcoming us．
Sincerely Fred Deacon
