1. Filled example — clean it in Notes

Before:
Here’s a polished version:

**Hi [Landlord],**
The kitchen faucet has been dripping for about two weeks and it’s getting worse.
Could someone come take a look this week? I’m home any day after 4 p.m.
Thanks, [Your name]

Let me know if you’d like any changes!

After:
Hi Dana,
The kitchen faucet has been dripping for about two weeks and it’s getting worse.
Could someone come take a look this week? I’m home any day after 4 p.m.
Thanks, Pat

2. Half-filled practice

Here’s a draft:

**Hi [Neighbor],**
The trash cans are blocking my gate.
Could you move them by tonight?
Thanks, [Your name]
