Band 9: Your next door neighbour owns a small dog that barks throughout the day and the night. Write a letter to your neighbour requesting that something be done about the dog. Include in your letter: Your reason for writing What you would like to happen A nice, respectful style.

Dear sir or madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to bring to your attention my concerns regarding your dog. While I completely understand how much joy pets can bring, I have noticed your dog tends to bark quite a bit throughout the day and night. Unfortunately, the noise has been affecting my ability to relax and sleep, particularly in the quieter hours of the evening.

I wanted to reach out and see if there might be any way to reduce the barking, perhaps through some additional training or by bringing your dog indoors during the night. I truly appreciate your consideration in helping to address this matter.

I completely understand that pets are part of the family, and I appreciate your understanding as we work together to find a solution that works for everyone. It will help to make our neighborhood quiet and calm.

I appreciate your prompt response. I look forward to hearing from you and receiving your assistance.

Warm regards,

Ashish
