…here you go. (This was a response to a recent email enquiry).
“Good to hear from you again.
Unfortunately this apartment has being sold, and yes it is the same as the one you inspected with me bar the stair case and yes it has larger out door area’s.
You have to be quick with the better buildings, it is very hard to see number 413 at its best with the way it is at the moment, if it was clear and your own furniture in you would be surprised, don’t discount it.
I will send you an email of the new apartment’s we have to offer you, please let me know if you would like to inspect them.”
I should mention this has nothing to do with the agent being an immigrant or from a NESB. He was as true blue, dinkydie an aussie bloke as one would ever meet. Clearly I wasn’t exagerating in my earlier post!

Hi Steve,
I hate to be mean, but I couldn’t resist commenting after I read your recent post.
(1) “A non-English-speaking background” is correct; “a NESB” is not. It should be “an NESB”, if you insist on using the initialism.
(2) The term “dinkydie” should be spelled “dinky-di” (see http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dinky-di).
(3) The adjective “aussie” should be capitalised.
(4) The word “exagerating” should be spelled “exaggerating” – and by the way, “spelt” is a legitimate alternative to “spelled”, in case you were wondering.
I hope all is going well for you.
Best wishes,
Vincent
