Description

EMAIL ONE: Hello, I hope you're doing well! I wanted to reach out because I recently moved into a new apartment, and unfortunately, I don't have the space for my piano anymore. It's a beautiful instrument, and I’m really hoping to find a good home for it. If you know anyone who might be interested in taking it, I’d really appreciate it if you could refer them to me. I’d love for it to go to someone who will enjoy it as much as My Late Husband did. Thanks a lot! Best, EMAIL TWO: Good morning, Please accept my apologies for the delayed response — I’ve been busy settling into my new apartment and adjusting to the change The piano is still available and is in beautiful, like-new condition. It was only gently played a few times by my late husband before his passing. One of his final wishes was for the piano to find a loving home where it would be appreciated and well cared for. If you’re still interested, I’d be happy to provide more details about pickup. I’ve also attached photos of the Wurlitzer Baby Grand Piano, which measures approximately 5 feet (152 cm) in length, 58 inches (147 cm) in width, and 39 inches (99 cm) in height. Looking forward to hearing from you. Warmest regards, Nelly Jay EMAIL THREE:Hi Sarah, That’s awesome — I’m excited too! Thanks for keeping me updated. Could you also send me your phone number? I’ll make sure the movers have it so they can reach out to you directly as well. Looking forward to hearing more soon!
