SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear course provider,

I am Alice Degeneres studying a eight week intensive course at Oxford University. My tuition fee is covered by me, however, the accomodation was provided by  your company. It is expected that I pass my final exams with a great score and get an on-campus placement. With the work pressure increasing, it is very important for me to be able to study in a pleasant environment.

I am staying at Everton Hostel. The course is fantastic, however I am finding issues with accommodation. When the accommodation was provided I was assured that I will be provided a single room, however with time, three different students have settled in my room, claiming the accommodation was provided by you. Even more they tend to party in the house and bring in friends, which becomes really difficult for me to study. I am in final year, and require a single room that could help me to focus on my studies properly.

I wonder if I am moved to a hostel which is more conducive to serious study, or I may use the remainder of my accommodation to go towards payment for a hostel.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Alice Degeneres
