To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to inform you of my reasons for choosing Launceston, in Tasmania, as the
city of residence and for my professional purposes, instead of the city of Melbourne. The desire
to move out of the city of Melbourne and relocate myself at the city of Launceston is the quiet
and peaceful environment of Tasmania. Melbourne is a wonderful city with a very fact paced
lifestyle. However, I desire a calm country side environment rather than a bustling city life.
I am a married man, residing with my wife at the city of Melbourne currently. I have
earned my educational qualification from the Footscray Campus of the Victoria University, after
which I have started to work as a Finance Officer. My wife is a housewife. I am the only bread-
earner of the family and the responsibility of undertaking the best possible decision for ensuring
the betterment of my wife and in future falls on me.
Having spent a considerable amount of time at the Australian City of Melbourne for the
purpose of pursuing my educational career, and currently for my work, I have experienced the
best that the city has to offer to each individual. Although the city is spectacular. the
cosmopolitan environment of Melbourne is something which does not suit my temperament as I
look for solace The hustle and bustle of city life is something I prefer stay away from. There are
also certain logistical difficulties that are affecting me in Melbourne such as the high cost of
living, travel expenses and the distance from workplace to home. A considerable amount of my
income is spent on expensive accommodation. It takes me almost forty minutes to reach to my
workplace and another forty minutes to reach my home.

On relocating myself to Launceston in Tasmania, much of these problems shall be
solved. The laidback town life is close to nature and free from pollution compared to Melbourne.
Being a small city, the expenses shall be less and the distance between the workplace and my
residence shall be as less as ten minutes. That shall enable me to save both time and money,
which I can devote to the betterment of my family. Also, one of the major reasons for wanting to
shift to Launceston is that in the future, if I have children, I want them to be brought up in the
countryside rather than in a city life. Countryside has a way of ensuring that people remain
grounded to nature whereas in a city, people have a tendency to become materialistic in nature.
These are precisely the reasons why I would like to relocate myself to Launceston in
Tasmania from Australia which emanates from a desire to judge life on the basis of quality than
quantity. It would be of great help to me of you could look into the matter and do the needful. I
shall be highly obliged for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
