Spanish letter or email: making request for refurbishments.

 

Sr. Carrascosa:

Por la presente quisiera comunicarle acerca de la época tan incómoda que tengo que pasar en este piso durante los meses de verano. Como ya sabe, los veranos en Sevilla son muy calurosos, y el año pasado experimenté dificultades a la hora de dormir por las noches debido al calor insoportable. Además, trabajo en casa, y el calor implacable afecta muchísimo a mi trabajo durante estos meses de verano.

Alquilé este piso a condición de que tuviera el aire acondicionado instalado; sin embargo, el aparato viejo es totalmente inútil porque produce muy poco aire frío. La revisión técnica del año pasado no mejoró su rendimiento.

Por lo tanto, ruego que instale un nuevo aparato de aire acondicionado en este piso. No creo que esta petición sea excesiva; se debe considerar el aire una necesidad en el sur de España y no un lujo.

Con el verano a la vuelta de la esquina, ruego contacte conmigo a la mayor brevedad posible.

Le saluda muy cordialmente,

Randolph Humphries

Dear Mr Carrascosa

I am writing to you about the uncomfortable time that I have to experience in this flat during the summer months. As you know, the summers in Seville are extremely hot and last year I found it difficult to sleep at night due to the unbearable heat. Furthermore, I also work at home, yet the overwhelming heat means that my work suffers during these summer months.

I rented this flat on the assumption that it came with air-conditioning, however, the old machine is hopeless as it produces very little cold air. Its servicing last year did nothing to improve its output.

Therefore, I should be grateful if you would install a new air-conditioning machine in this flat. I do not think this is too much to ask since air-conditioning is a necessity in the south of Spain and not a luxury.

I would be grateful if you would get back to me about this as soon as possible as the summer is fast approaching.

Yours sincerely

Randolph Humphries
