Dear Sir:

     I am writing to you because I am unable to pay next month’s rent which is due on Saturday. Unfortunately, the other day I lost may wallet, and there was a large amount of money inside.

    I have, therefore, had to write to my parents to ask them to send me some money urgently. As soon as it arrives, I will immediately notify you and arrange to pay by cash or cheque. I hope that this does not cause you too much inconvenience.

    There are also some problems with the flat that I wish to bring to your attention. First, the cold tap in the bathroom will not turn off properly, and the water is dripping constantly. This will need to be fixed quickly because it is wasting water. Second, one of the back rings on the top of the oven does not work at all.

    I’m sorry that I cannot pay the rent on time, and trust that you will understand.

    Yours sincerely,

    Dai Ling
