#neighbour #noise #house #offer #apology #initiative
Dear Mr. Smith, I am writing to apologise for the inconvenience that caused you because of the loud voices and music from my house
last
 Sunday.
However
, I was not aware of the level of noise we created that night until I saw your complaint letter. To start with, the reason behind
this
 music and high-volume celebration was the end of my university course with good grades in the
last
 academic term.
Therefore
, I was partying with my college friends, who were in the same class, on Sunday.
However
, I would like to express my deepest apology towards the trouble that you faced
due to
 our unplanned event. We would have taken care of volume levels if you had asked on that evening only.
Nevertheless
, I will make sure to keep the noise range in control from next time.
Apart from
this
, I will definitely write to my all neighbours about parties at home going forward. I hope you will accept my apology. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Ravindra Rajole
