Dear Mr. Henderson,
I hope you are having a pleasant week. I am writing to you as your next-door neighbour from number 42 regarding the dog you have recently started keeping in your back garden.
While I appreciate how much joy a pet can bring, the animal has been causing significant disturbances. Since it is kept outside throughout the night, its persistent barking often wakes my young children. Furthermore, the garden fencing is somewhat low, and the dog frequently jumps up against it, which has resulted in damage to my prize-winning rose bushes and a great deal of mess on my patio area.
I would like to suggest a few ways to resolve these issues. Perhaps you could consider bringing the dog inside after dusk to ensure a quiet environment for the neighbourhood. Additionally, installing a slightly higher fence or a sturdy mesh screen would prevent the dog from jumping over and damaging the shared boundary. I am happy to discuss splitting the cost of these improvements if that would be helpful.
Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to resolving this matter amicably.
Best wishes,
Arthur Pringle
