You have just moved into a new home and are planning to hold a party. You are worried that the noise may disturb your neighbour.

Sample Answer

Dear Mr and Mrs Simpson,

I am your next-door neighbour and we have recently moved into this house. I regret that I did not get the opportunity to be acquainted with you. In fact, we are a family of three – me, my wife and our 8 years old son. We are planning to hold a party next Monday and would like to invite you.

My son’s birthday will be on next Monday. Hence, my spouse and I have decided to celebrate this special occasion and invite some friends and relatives. The party will commence at 7:00 pm and continue till midnight. It will consist of some music and dancing in which a local music band will perform. The dinner will be served at around 08:00 pm in the garden and the concert will be held afterwards. Although the participants are comparatively limited, we are afraid the noises from the music performance might disturb you. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience created by this.

I initially intended to invite you and your family to the party over the phone, but I hesitated whether it could be a good idea or not. My wife suggested that it would be more appropriate if I write a letter to do so.

We will be genuinely pleased if you kindly accept our invitation to our beloved son’s birthday ceremony. This way, we will not only find the chance to become familiar but enjoy the occasion together.

Best Regards,

Ali Kazemian
