The air-conditioner in your flat broke three weeks ago and it is the middle of summer. You asked the landlord to repair it and he promised to send someone but no-one has contacted you yet. Write a letter to the landlord complaining about the situation. In your letter: explain the problem, remind the landlord about his promise, say what you want him to do.

It is summertime and it is too hot here, even during nighttime. I work remotely and it is impossible to stay in the flat without working air conditioning.
