dear mr. jackson:

　　you may remember that we have discussed the noise that your children make while they are practicing their musical instruments. you agreed to make sure that they would stop practicing in the evenings.

　　you can imagine my surprise, then, when i realized that things had not changed and the situation was continuing as before. i find it difficult to stay in the house and i invent any excuse to go out for the evening to be away from the terrible noise. much as i like music, i have had enough, and to be

　　honest, i am not prepared to put up with the situation anymore.

　　i think it is high time you realized your responsibilities as a member of the community, and i must warn you that unless you do something about the situation, i will be forced to take legal action. i have sent a copy of this letter to my lawyer.

　　yours sincerely,

　　peter hugo
