Model Answer 1:

Dear Mr Daniel,

I am writing this letter to remind you about some emergency repair works that need to be carried out at the flat I am living in.

The last time you did the repair work in the kitchen, one of the bathrooms and two windows was almost two years ago. The repair work was done very professionally and except for the kitchen, other works still look new.

However, this time, other problems have emerged and I have detected a few leaks in the kitchen which needs to be fixed immediately. The paint has started to come off and I am not sure when was the last time the flat was painted. Besides, there is water logging in the drain pipes and its causing great inconvenience for me.

I would greatly appreciate if you could arrange for these repairs and paint works as soon as possible by hiring professional service as you did before. Please contact me on my mobile phone to make arrangements for the work to start.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Garcia
