Dear Sir or Madam

Noise disturbance.

I am writing to complain about the Loud noise from your office.

We rent the office next door to you, and all day and every day you play very Loud music. It is impossible for us to work. I should like to remind you that the contract for the office says that ‘music is not allowed’. I really must insist, therefore, that you stop making this noise immediately.

If you do not do this, I will be forced to contact the Landlord.

Yours faithfully
