Dear Mr. Donald,
My name is Hasan Ali. I have rented your 3 bedroom apartment on Oxford Street. I am writing you
this
letter to express my dissatisfaction with the furniture provided by you. I moved to 36-A, Charleston Street in July 2000 and since then
there has been a constant cycle of something or the other going wrong.
The sofas in the living room are provided by you and tearing at the seams. The cloth of the sofa has also
become worn out. This
could be because of the wear and tear. Also
, the wood of the sofa frame has also
started getting chipped off.
I will not be home the whole of next week. Could you please get the sofas fixed then
? Furthermore
, the windowpane of the kitchen has loose screws. can you get the carpenter to fix them? he will already be coming for the sofas.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully
Hasan AliSubmitted by hudibaiqbal on
