English letter help to neighbour

skie

I want to write a letter to neighbour to let them know the problem and find solution.

我家后院和邻居家后院之间的栅栏倒（还没全倒，现在整个栅栏都斜靠在我家的大树的树干上）。OTHERWISE，整个栅栏就全部倒在我家的后院了。

skie

this is my draft, it does not look good.

Dear neighbor,

Re: Shared fence

This is XXX, I lived at XXXXXXX. I just noticed our shared fence is almost falling down. Now the shared fence is lean against the tree in our backyard. Otherwise the fence will be down.

I am looking forward to hearing from you regarding the above problem.

Thank you

这种事，你自己不提出来一个solution的话写信有什么意义？

fence的修整，如果我没记错的话，只要合乎council规定，邻居不能拒绝，只能要求你拿足够多的quote，费用应该是大家分摊。所以你最好做好功课再写信

Agree... Since it is shared fence not your neighbour's privite one, I think you should propose some solutions rather than push them to fix it.

老公昨天检查栅栏，发现邻居家好像刚修剪过书，地上全是没收拾的垃圾。猜想会不会是因为这个，栅栏才到的。之前一直都好好的。我们两天天天黑走，天黑了才回来。要不是去拣地上的大树支，也发现不了。和邻居从未见过面。我们也没什么时间找报价什么的。想让他们拿个报价。可能有个12米的样子，也贵不到那去吧。大家看这事咋办呢？

so...you want your neighbor to get the quotes and you want people here to write a letter for you.

可能我最后那句 I am looking forward…  表达有误解了，我就想看看能不能修，不能修，就安个新的。2家分摊？现在也拿不出证据是邻居把栅栏碰倒了，只是猜想。大家看英文怎么表达呢

如果邻居能承认是他们搞坏的，更好了。这个信怎么写呢

Dear neighbour,

Re: Shared fence

This is XXX, I lived at XXXXXXX. I just noticed that our shared fence is almost falling down. The shared fence is now leaning against the trees in our backyard. If it wasn't for the trees, the fence would have collapsed.

I am looking forward to hearing from you regarding the problem described above.

Thank you


改了改 语法。。。 嗯。。
