Dear Professor David,
I have been living in International House now for the past eight months and feel very much at home as it is very comfortable and reasonably priced. However, I would like to draw your attention to the following problems.
First of all, the computer room in the basement has been closed for the last three weeks because of a shortage of technical staff. Would it not be possible to pay computer-science students to run the hall’s computer room on a rota basis?
Secondly, noise levels from student parties have increased recently. I think it would be a good idea to limit parties to Friday or Saturday nights and from 8.00 to 12.30 in term time. I am sure you will agree that it is very hard to study when someone is having an all-night party in the middle of the week!
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Cates
