You are having problems with a neighbour’s animals because the fence between your properties is old and in poor repair. You want the neighbour to pay half the cost of building a new fence. Write a letter to your neighbour. In your letter • say what the problems are • explain how a new fence will solve the problems • suggest that the neighbour pays half of the cost

Dear John, I am writing this letter to bring an issue to your attention, which we ought to solve now. Describing a bit about the problem, this is related to nothing but the difficulty your two dogs are causing to us. As almost 10 years have passed since we are living beside each other, our fence needs an urgent renovation, which is almost damaged. To make the matter worse, your two dogs, throughout whole day, tend to jump in our area since it's too easy for them to do so. Due to this, my children become so frightened and could not even wander freely in our own house. Looking at the benefits of having a new fence, since there would a strong barrier between yours and my house, not only it would prevent dogs to come in our area, but this will also ensure that no mishappening will occur in future. Now let’s also discuss about the cost. I think it will be great if we share the expenses because we both are sharing that very fence. Should you have any other things to discuss, don’t hesitate to drop me a line. I hope you will consider this matter as soon as possible. Yours truly, Daizy D.
