Dear John,
I am Damien Solomon, who resides in unit 111 in the same building where you reside. I officially received your complaint through our apartment board and I am writing
this
letter as an apology and also
to inform you regarding the loud noise coming from my house since last
Monday.
Let me explain to you in detail regarding the situation. Last
week there was an issue with our heating system which was checked by authorized personnel and was confirmed there was a minor leak in the exhaust pipe and it was temporarily fixed. However
, the temporary fix for the valve has lost its ability to stop this
leakage and this
resulted in a large amount of steam rushing through the nozzle at a higher speed creating a loud whistling noise. Unfortunately, the company doesn't have a schedule to accommodate my request to fix it again soon.
Could you please kindly let me know if you could provide me with an extra week to completely resolve this
problem one of their staff members confirmed my appointment for next week.
I understand and apologize for the inconvenience caused by Change the punctuation

issue. Thanks for your kind consideration and cooperation.
Faithfully yours,
