To: Sharla Stanton <sharlal@stanionacres.ca>
From: Ralph Fitzpatrick <rfitzpatrick@fitzgreenways.ca>
Date: 6 April
Subject: Trencher machine
Hi Sharla,
You had mentioned the other day that you anticipate needing to dig an litigation trench on your property, just as I do. I wanted to let you know that I did some searching on the Zolio Rentals Web site, and I have decided that tomorrow I am going to rent the smallest trencher that is available. I will need the machine only for a couple of hours, but since the closest rental location is 45 minutes away in Durham, and it will take time to load it onto my truck both for the trip home and back to Durham again. 1 have decided to rent the machine for a full day.
Would you want to use the machine while I have it? If so, we can coordinate our schedules, and I can bring it to you after I finish. Then I can return the trencher to Zolio Rentals the next morning. I will gladly cover the entire rental fee. It is my way of returning the favour for your help with my lawn mower last autumn. Please let me know.
Regards,
Ralph
