Thompson, My name is Liz, my parents and I have just moved to your apartment on Fifth Avenue. I’m writing
this
letter to address some issues that we have been facing with its furniture since we arrived.
First
, the bed in the main suite is broken, which could have been a very serious problem, considering that my parents are elderly and have several spinal problems.
Second
, the glass of the dining room table is broken at one end, leaving a sharp edge that can eventually cause an accident. We are very interested in continuing to live here as we like the location and the neighbourhood,
however
, taking into consideration that we pay a high rent, above the average of the properties in the vicinity, I would like you to consider replacing the mentioned items as soon as possible, or that unless you write us back giving authorization for us to buy similar items,
thus
I would buy the stuff tomorrow and the amount paid could be deducted on the
next
rent, upon presentation of the receipt, if you prefer. Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon, Yours faithfully, Liz Gills
