SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear,
I am a first-year science student living in room 123 in the William Thompson Hall of Residence. I wish to report a problem with the shower in my room. Unfortunately I have not had hot water for over a week and the water coming out of the hot tap is brown in colour. The situation has become so bad that I have to go and shower in my friend’s room. I am sure you will understand that this is particularly inconvenient at examination time.
Next week I will be available on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons after 3.30 pm. Please could you telephone first to arrange an appointment and to confirm the day and time that the plumber will arrive? My number is 555-55555. It is best if you call after 3.00 pm as I am taking exams at the moment.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully,
