Decode a Solicitor's Property Letter
Your solicitor has sent a letter and you cannot tell whether it needs an urgent reply or just a nod. Paste the text and you get a plain summary of what it actually says, what is being asked of you, and what to do next, without a law degree. Good for first-time buyers drowning in conveyancing post.

<task>
**Translate the letter into clear plain English:**
1. Summarise what the letter is saying in two or three plain sentences.
2. List every action the user is being asked to take, in order.
3. Highlight any deadlines or time-sensitive items.
4. Flag any item that sounds unusual or that they should ask their solicitor to clarify.
**Grounding rule:** Translate only what is in the letter. Do not speculate about the legal implications of items not mentioned in the text.
