Dear Mr Adams, My name is Mary and I am a
first
-year student at Noth Carolina College. I am writing
this
letter to express my dissatisfaction with an arranged room for me. I have started my
first
year full of enthusiasm and was eager to study.
However
, I was disappointed to know my roommate better. He likes to listen to loud music and spends hours talking on the phone which makes it impossible for me to study. I have tried many times to cope with the noise and concentrate on my lessons. But I am afraid that it seriously hampers my academic performance. I have
also
tried to talk with my roommate.
As a result
, he could keep his promise to be quiet for only 2 days and everything started again. Hereby, I would like to kindly request you to move me or my roommate to another dormitory room, since it is impossible for me to focus on my academic performance. I look forward to your positive reply. Yours Sincerely, Mary
