Dear Ms Halim,

I am writing to request a repair to the water heater in unit 4B, which I rent from Halim Property Management. The unit has produced no hot water since October 15.

Could you please arrange for a technician to inspect it? I am available to provide access on weekdays after 5 PM or at any time on weekends.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,
R. Prasetyo
