Dear John, I am writing to inform you of a concern I have about the
fence
. I hope you would consider my problem favourably and help me close it as early as possible. As you know, the
fence
we have is so aged and under maintenance. At times, your dog is used to jump over that.
As a result
, the wall is about to fall. In the current situation, the
fence
is not in an excellent position to stop intruders. I hope a new
fence
would help us here. It is not only going to secure me but
also
you as well. A better boundary would always make us stay calm and peaceful. Since it's a shared one, I would request you to bear half of the cost of repairing the
fence
.
Also
, please train your dog in
such
a way so that it won't play around it again. I expect a cheerful reply from you. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Sooraj Raveendran Nair
