Sample Answer:

Dear Sir,

I am Reynaldo Nera Obed, a third semester student of English Department of your university. I am writing to express my disappointment with my roommate and request for a single room next semester.

To begin with, it has become quite tough for me to cope with my roommate, Clement Coulston, who studied in the same department that I study in. First, he is a chain-smoker. The odor permeates the whole room, and very often it makes me feel suffocated. In addition to this, he likes to play hard metal and I find it very hard to concentrate on my studies. Not only does it hamper my study, but also disrupt my sleep as he listens to the music till late night. As a result, I cannot go on my study as my level best and am falling behind my assignments. Besides, he often borrows my staffs without my permission.

I cannot tolerate this situation any longer. I must study hard so that I can score a good grade. It would be so generosity of yours if you could arrange a single room next semester. It would be convenient for me not having to share with someone else.

I look forward to receiving your reply soon.

Yours faithfully,
Reynaldo Nera Obed.
