Task 1 Letter · semi formal letter

Your neighbour, whom you do not know well, has been making a lot of noise late at night, and this is causing you difficulties. Write a letter to your neighbour. In your letter: - explain the situation - describe how the noise affects you - suggest a solution Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear ...,

Dear Mr Okafor, I hope this letter finds you well. We have not spoken much since you moved into the flat above mine in April, but I wanted to write about a problem that has been affecting me recently. Over the past three weeks, loud music and the voices of guests have been coming from your flat, usually starting around 11 pm and continuing until two or three in the morning, particularly at weekends. Unfortunately, this is having a serious effect on me. I work as a nurse and often start my shifts at 6 am, so I need to sleep early. Because of the noise, I have been arriving to work exhausted, and my manager has already commented on it. I completely understand that you have the right to enjoy your home and invite friends over. , I would be grateful if you could turn the music down after 10.30 pm, or perhaps warning me in advance when you plan a bigger gathering, so I can make other arrangements. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope we can sort this out in a friendly way. Best regards, Daniel Reyes
