In your letter: describe the problem explain how the problem is affecting you, your family and other tenants say what you would like the owner of the apartment to do.
I am writing to complain about the students who are renting your apartment which is situated
next
to mine. They invite a large number of people to the apartment almost every evening. The noise level is unacceptable and it continues until early in the morning. What’s more, they persistently leave rubbish in the public areas of the building. Although
I have tried to talk to the students, they have been uncooperative and the situation has not improved.
This
situation is having a detrimental effect not only on the other occupants of the building,
but Remove the comma

also
on all of my family. I have to get up early to work, and I am constantly tired from lack of sleep. My son, who has exams soon, is finding it difficult to concentrate at school because he is not getting enough sleep.
I would be grateful if you could talk to the students and convey my concern and remind them of the noise regulations in the block. If the situation does not improve, further
action may be required.
I look forward to your cooperation in this
matter.
Yours faithfully,

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
