Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to complain about the extremely loud noise that the construction workers and machines are making near where I live. I understand
this
is a major building which will bring about several benefits to our town. As far as I am aware, the new building will give place to a whole set of new fashion stores, restaurants and a coffee shop. Many members of the community have shown how very pleased they are about
this
situation,
however
, I cannot say the same for myself. Despite the fact that much of
this
issue occurs during weekday working hours, I have to work from home every other Friday of the week. I have been having difficulties focusing while at work and important video conferences have had to get cancelled for the excruciating noise. I see why most neighbours have not complained, since they are away while the construction machines operate,
however
, I cannot keep on coping with
such
a disturbance I would kindly ask if you could switch up the tradesman's day off to Fridays, so I make sure I can fulfil my tasks on that specific day. I hope you can understand how I have suffered
this
inconvenience and can do something regarding
this
matter. I would hope you could resolve
this
pressing issue promptly. Yours faithfully, Laura Espeso
