Consider the following features: contractions use of slang and phrasal verbs use of intensifies use of active and passive punctuation Dear Mr. Andrew Barrister, I am writing on behalf of the residents' association to let you know of our feelings regarding your attitude. We've really had just about enough of you! Although we've tried to speak to you civilly on various occasions you've acted as though we were your enemies and even responded with a stream of verbal abuse. Ever since you moved in, two months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, despite our numerous complaints. For the past three weeks in a row, you've held extremely noisy parties which have not finished until the early hours of the morning. It's just not on! As you were told, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night! You don't have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend, the situation deteriorated further when three of you friends were involved in a fight on the second floor. The disturbance was so bad that we had to call the police! What's worse, your mates left the building in a terrible state - they smashed one window on their way out! we feel that this type of behavior is intolerable! We strongly recommend that you arrange full payment for the damage they caused. If you don't and you carry on being a pain in the neck, we'll kick you out! legal steps will be taken if necessary. Yours very truly, Angela Red
