Dear Mr. Alan, I
hope
this
 email finds you well. I am writing
this
 email to formally request to terminate the rent
contract
 two months early. My name is Jonathan Shetas, and I am currently renting a flat on 6 Galloway St for the
last
 five months. As I am sure, you are aware that I am a good tenant, as I always pay my rent on time and I did not cause any damage to the flat. The current
contract
 runs for twelve months, which means that the
contract
 ends in June 2024.
However
,
due to
 unforeseen circumstances, my manager asked me to relocate to Singapore earlier than planned, which means that I will need to leave the apartment in April 2024, and it is beyond my control. One of the
contract
 clauses stated that the tenant cannot terminate the
contract
 early unless allowed.
Therefore
, with the situation beyond my control, I
hope
 to get your permission to allow me to break the lease. I am
also
 aware of the consequences of breaking the
contract
, but I was hoping that you

 not penalise me, and return me back the rental bonds. I
hope
 you take my request into consideration and I
hope
 to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Jonathan Shetas

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
