You have had a problem with your neighbor for the past few months. You have not been able to meet with your neighbor to discuss the problem. Write a letter to your neighbor. In your letter: Explain the problem Suggest a solution Say what action you will take if the situation does not improve

Dear Mr James, I have noticed a couple of unpleasant activities perpetuated by your children

Tom

and Paul.

Although

, I would have loved to discuss

this

with you in person, both of us have missed each other at different times, probably due to alternating work cycles.

Tom

, has on a number of occasions been sighted by my wife trying to scale the perimeter fence into my compound. I find that kind of behaviour very sneaky. If

Tom

needs anything on my premises, he ought to come in via the main entrance. Paul,

on the other hand

, has been seen drinking alcohol right in front of my house and in plain view of my children. I believe he is attempting to lure them into the bad habit of alcoholism.

This

too, I deeply frown at. While it is not in my place to tell your son how he will conduct himself in public, he ought to have some respect for other people. I have had a chat with both Paul and

Tom

regarding these unpleasant behaviours. If

however

, they continue along

this

path, I will have to inform the police and I am sure you know they will be arrested. As much as I would not want to create trouble for you, if you do not caution them, I will be forced to do the needful. I hope you will be able to deal with

this

situation internally before it escalates. Sincerely yours, Harry
