Dear Mr. John, Greetings. I am writing to address the electricity issue that I am facing at my apartment. It has been 4 months since I have been your tenant and unfortunately it has not been a pleasant experience because of the frequent power cuts that keeps happening throughout the day contradicting to what was advertised. This has caused significant difficulty in my work as my important meetings gets disconnected. Additionally, this has also resulted in my refrigerator and AC not working because of unstable electricity. Therefore, I request you to set up an invertor connection in the apartment on a priority basis, alternatively provide me a compensation to get my appliances repaired. Hoping for a prompt action in this regard. Yours sincerely [Your Name]

Dear landlord, I am writing this mail to inform you that the apartment is not what you advertised before. It is said that the apartment is having a stable electricity which is I am lacking now.
