The apartment that you have rented was repaired recently. Later you discovered some defects in repairs. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter explain what the problem is suggest how it can be fixed say what you would like the landlord to do about it.

Dear Mr Smith, First of all, I want to thank you for the repairs you have arranged. Now my apartment looks much better than before, but, unfortunately, I have encountered a new defect. The problem is with the water heating system. It seems that it does not heat water in the boiler. I suggest it can be because of the malfunctioning power switch, as the light does not glow red when I try to turn the machine on. Or, maybe, the issue is within the electrical system itself. I believe
this
needs to be fixed as soon as possible because I find it hard to live without hot water. Can you, please, arrange an electrician for the nearest weekend? I will be able to meet him from 12 to 6 PM both on Saturday and Sunday. I will be waiting for your response and I’m looking forward to finding a viable solution to our problem in the nearest future. Sincerely, Nikita
