Dear Mr Smith, I'
m
Angel, a
third
-year student at Brighton Institution. I along with my classmates have been a tenant in
this
apartment for a year. I'
m
writing to inform you of the ongoing problem with the heating system that until now, hasn't been resolved. As per the regulation of
this
building, any technical problems are relayed to the maintenance team. They did fix it as requested,
however
, it seems they didn't do a good job. We contacted their office for a follow-up repair and they said we're on queue, for there are others before us that requested their service. We've been patient in understanding our current situation but
this
heating problem has been going on for days now. I'
m
suggesting for you to add more technical crew with better skills. If being understaffed is the problem,
then
maybe you need to hire more. I hope you understand our current predicament and I'
m
expecting you to solve it as soon as the soonest. Yours truly, Angel
