Welcome to our neighborhood. Tm very glad that you and your family become our neighbor. How- ever,I am sorry to say that you have brought some troubles to us.

So would you please not sing so loud in the early morning? And your son Paul is playing balls at home all day. Would you please ask him not to play there? There is a big playground in front of our building. What5s more,your daughter Emma plays music too loud. She makes so much noise. My little baby starts to cry as soon as she plays the crazy music. Thank you for your under- standing!
Yours,
Maria
