Sample Answer

Dear Mr. Spencer,

I’m one of your renters and reside in flat no. B-9/3. I’m writing this letter to let you know of some of the fallacious furniture and in the hope of getting it replaced.

Our family shifted to this apartment last week, which had some furniture as a part of the accommodation, and we were so elated to have signed the rental agreement with you. However, unfortunately, out of all the furniture and appliances, some of the fitments are defunct. The sofa set we got has a flimsy leg, and the showcase has fissured glasses owing to which they are not worthy of keeping in the flat. Not only do these cause embarrassment in front of the guests, but they are also extremely unfit for our usage.

I would request you to replace these items with the newer ones or at least, with the functional ones, as is mentioned in our contract of accommodation.

Yours sincerely
Prakhar Panchbhaiya

Soon after graduating with a Master’s in Literature from Southern Arkansas University, she joined an institute as an English language trainer. She has had innumerous student interactions and has produced a couple of research papers on English language teaching. She soon found that non-native speakers struggled to meet the English language requirements set by foreign universities. It was when she decided to jump ship into IELTS training. From then on, she has been mentoring IELTS aspirants. She joined IELTSMaterial about a year ago, and her contributions have been exceptional. Her essay ideas and vocabulary have taken many students to a band 9.
