Dear Sir.
I hope you are doing well. My name is Jake. I'
m
writing this
letter to complain about the noise in construction near my home. I've lived in HanGangRo and I'm
an office worker who can only take a break on weekends. First,
Thank you for your service to improve the street. As I know, you've been starting to work on the street 2 weeks ago, and also
you were working weekends. However
, I've always wanted to take a rest on weekends but the noise makes me somewhat sensitive. I'm
afraid to ask, could you work the day on weekdays? I understand that if you work only on weekdays, the period of construction is going to be long and you haven't wanted to do that. But, I'm
so sorry to you I can't endure anymore. I kindly suggest you accept my favour
Yours Faithfully
