Dear Mr. Solari,


I hope you are well. I am writing to complain about the noise from Jorge, my

9 PM. I understand people love to listen to music, but this makes it hard for me to
concentrate and study. I have an important exam this week.
Could you please help with this? As the landlord, you could remind him to keep the
volume down or use headphones. I’ll appreciate your help and hope we can find
a solution.
Thank you!

your apology. Even with headphones, I can hear it sometimes. It’s hard for me to
