Working well
- Clear purpose — “I am writing this email, because I noticed that the heating system is not working properly, and the temperature in my apartment drops significantly at night.”
- Request for action — “Is it possible that you send an engineer to fix this problem.”
- Consideration of alternatives — “If there is no engineer available recently, is there any temporary solution to solve this problem like sending another heater for temporary used.”
To improve
- Lack of specificity Try: Can we schedule a specific time for the repair on a weekend or after 6 PM on weekdays?
