A new neighbour has moved in next door and has taken your main rubbish bin. Write a letter to your new neighbour requesting that they return the item. In the letter: – Explain that new bins must be sourced from the local council – Request that the person returns your bin immediately – Inform the person of what further actions you will take should they not return your bin

Dear Mr. Stuart, My name is Son Nguyen and I am living right next to the house that you moved in 2 weeks ago. First of all, welcome to the neighbourhood sir! It's always
such
a joy for us to see a new resident in the area. The reason why I am writing
this
letter to you,
however
, is to request for the return of our main rubbish
bin
. Since you are new here, I am aware of the fact that you may not know about the waste management process in
this
area. Each residence will be assigned one main
bin
for the trash guy to pick up the next day. You can request one by filling in the form at the local council to have them delivered to your place. I will be happy to guide you through the process if you would like me to. Before doing so,
however
, I would like to have our
bin
back. We have 2 days' worth of waste around our house and the trash driver will not accept any bags or containers that are not in the
bin
.
Therefore
, I would like you to return the
bin
immediately. If
this
letter does not find you or the request is not fulfilled by the end of tomorrow, I will have no choice but to have the council involved in the matter. I am looking forward to hearing your reply and getting our main trash container back. Yours sincerely, Son Nguyen
