Dear Mrs. Hogget
You may remember that we have discussed the noise your children make while practicing their musical instruments(乐器). You agreed to make sure that they would stop practicing in the evenings.
You can imagine my astonishment, then, when I realized that nothing had changed and the situation was continuing as before. I find it difficult to stay in the house and invent any excuse to go out for the evening to be away from the terrible noise. Much as I like music, I have had enough, and to be frank (坦诚的), I am not prepared to put up with the situation any more.
I think it high time you realized your duty as a member of the community (团体), and I must warn you that unless you do something about the situation I will be forced to take legal (法律) action.
I have sent a copy of this letter to my lawyer.
