Dear Joy,
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to talk to you about something that has been bothering me lately. Your dog’s barking, especially in the evenings and at night, has been quite loud. It’s making it hard for my family to sleep and we are feeling quite disturbed.
Also, I’ve noticed your dog wandering into my garden and leaving a mess. I understand how much you love your pet, but it’s becoming a bit of a problem for us.
Would it be possible to keep your dog in a quieter part of your garden or maybe train it to bark less? Also, cleaning up after it when it wanders into my garden would be really appreciated.
If the problem persists, I may need to escalate this matter to the local authorities, though I sincerely hope we can resolve it amicably.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
