Another one

Code: Select all

Your neighbours have recently written to you to complain about the noise from your houselflat.

Write a letter to your neighbours. In your letter

explain the reasons for the noise
apologise
describe what action you will take
My writing

Dear John,

I am surprised to learn that you are disturbed with the noise from my house. I would like to sincerely apologize to you regarding this inconvenience.

One week ago the pipe in my kitchen suddenly burst out and created some unpleasant scenes in my house. Being the only grown up in my house, I tried to fix the pipe but my effort was simply not good enough to fix the problem.

To solve this issue, I called a professional plumber to take a look of my kitchen and he said he is able to fix it in a day or two. He is scheduled to come again tomorrow with proper spare parts and tools to do his job.

There might be some more noise from my house because of the plumber trying to fix my kitchen, but I do hope that you could graciously forgive me for the extra time. I promise to bring my best grilled rib eye to your house this weekend when my kitchen is finished to say sorry and to catch up with you.
