Maid is supposed to come tomorrow, Clean for Gene man.

This would be her first "next" visit, $i man.

We had asked her not to use the chemical that made us sick for 2 days, request we man.

She wrote, "Hi, good morning, I'll use softer ones, I'll charge you $Many00-&-a-half," $i man.

We replied that we would buy her something and pay $Many00 per our agreement, si man.

We asked her to tell us what to buy, and how many, for our job, si man.

 

She has not responded, no man.

We wrote back to remind her of our agreement ($Many00), si man, and to ask again, si man.

We told her that no one has used the jacuzzi or guest bathroom since her last visit, no man.

We told her that we didn't want her touching dishes, beds, or garbage, our jobs man.
