Dear Sir/Madam I do hereby write
this
 letter to let you know of an awkward living situation that I find myself in. I share a room with Sindi a fellow student who is always drunk and arrogant. When she is drunk she plays the music at a high volume and will be shouting at everyone. The situation is making my study difficult as I will not have ample time to read and do my research. At times she brings along her boyfriend and their friends and they will party till after hours. The behaviour is now affecting other students who live in the flat. I was hoping if you could find me another accommodation
this
 time I prefer a single room for one person. I don't want to share with anyone again as it brings problems. I will be happy if you can make it fast so that I can have time to study for the end of the semester's examinations. I hope to get a favourable reply from you. Yours faithful Olivia Alfandika
