Dear Mr Smith, I hope
this
letter finds you in good health. My name is Angel Dy, and I've been your tenant for two years. I live in B-3 and I'm writing
this
letter to make a complaint in regards to the tenant that lived in B-5 who just moved a week ago. I'm complaining about the noises he makes every night and how it displeases me. During the night, he listens to music which is a rock genre and sets it to a higher volume. Not to mention that he

invites his friends and throughout the night I can hear laughing, shouting and stomping of feet like they are having a party.
This
activity of his is giving me a headache because I can't sleep properly with all the ruckus. It continued for days and because of that, I feel sleepy at work and sometimes doze off accidentally. I tried to talk to the person and voiced my complaints but he didn't listen. I talked with other tenants and it seems they are

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
