GENUINE EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS SENT TO LANDLORDS The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared. I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door. The toilet seat is cracked where do I stand? I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall. I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. Our toilet seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces. The person next door has a large erection in his backyard, which is unsightly and dangerous. Will you please send someone to repair our cracked sidewalk. Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant. Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like to have a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny color and not fit to drink. Could you please send someone to fix the faucet in our bathtub. My wife got her toe stuck in it and it is very uncomfortable for us. I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 530 his cock wakes me up, and it is getting too much. When the workmen were here they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess. Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy.
