Dear neighbor ABC

Hope this letter finds you well! I’m writing to inform you about the recent issues your dog has caused me and my family. While we love having a dog as a friend sometimes, these problems should be discussed.

To begin with, due to all the recent events in my life, my work life has been badly changed, and now, I must work night shifts. Therefore, the morning has now become my best time to relax. Yet, your dog has been ruining every single morning nap and sleep of mine by loudly barking. This disruption not only affects the quality of my rest but also my work ethic. In addition, because of the fierce behaviors of your pet, the bulk of my friends are frightened, and now skeptical to pay me a visit. If you don’t mind, we could negotiate and settle this via a face-to-face conversation at FABCD restaurant.

I am looking forward to seeing your response.

Best regards,

CDFIE
