Helou, Hope my letter finds you in good health. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miriam Medawar and I have BEEN RENTING your FLAT in Block A of Al Jawhary building, 4th floor since December 2019. I am writing
this
to inform you that I am not satisfied with the condition of some of the furniture. Please allow me to explain and elaborate on
this
subject. As a start, the living room furniture became very old.
This
can be seen obviously by its torn fabric due to usage. The coffee table has many scratches, and its glass is broken.
This
can be very dangerous for my children. As for the bedroom's closet, it does not close properly.
This
is actually becoming very annoying noting that I am a housewife and I spend most of my time at home.
Finally
, I would like to request some actions to be taken like either replacing the damaged items or paying 50% of the new goods' price I am willing to buy. The sum would be 2.000 dollars. Thank you in advance for your understanding and prompt support. Waiting for your feedback. Gratefully yours, Miriam Medawar
