Letter to Apartment Manager
June 5, 2019
Dear Mrs. Cree,
I have roaches in my apartment. I left you a voice mail on May 10 and on May 14, but you did not call me back. Now I am writing to you.
My apartment number is 43c in the Emerald Bay Apartment Village. My lease expires in 2 months. If you do not fix the problem, I will move out.
Please schedule an exterminator visit no later that June 15th. You can contact me at (443)555-3421. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
