Dear Mrs Jones,
I am writing in regards to the lack of hot water at apartment 12, Block 2, Rusden House.
My flatmates and I kindly appreciate the services of the workmen you sent to repair the hot water system last week. Unfortunately, they discovered that the hearing system is in excellent condition. According to them, the gas company may have temporarily stopped servicing our apartment probably because the last bill has not been settled.
However, it should be noted that all the tenants at apartment 12 have duly transferred the required funds to your bank account. Hence, we would be very grateful if you could pay the necessary expenses as soon as possible. If you have already done so, can you please liaise with the gas company to resolve this matter?
We would like to bring to your attention that we are currently in winter and a lack of hot water for an extended period of time is unacceptable. We are extremely unhappy about this situation especially given the fact that we have been very loyal tenants and have always paid our bills and rent in a timely manner.
Regards
Tom
