Band 8 letter sample | An apology letter to a neighbour

The following letter was written by one of our students. The student has good command of English and expresses his ideas well. This letter seems to be band 8 to me.

You recently organized a party at home and the noise levels caused some inconvenience to your neighbor. Write an apology letter.

Letter sample

Dear Samuel,

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Alex and I am the new tenant of the home opposite yours.

The reason that I am writing this letter is to apologise for the inconvenience caused by the party I organized at my home yesterday. I had invited some friends to my home. Since it was weekend they suggested that we should organize a party. I agreed and hired a DJ. As you should know, the party lasted till last night and I admit that noise levels were rather high. I am sorry to hear that it caused a great deal of inconvenience to you. Please accept my sincere apologies. I assure you that this will not happen again.

I am new in this town and I don’t have many friends here. I haven’t met most of our neighbours either. The next Sunday I am organizing a small party at my home. I have invited all our neighbours and I would like to use this opportunity to invite you as well.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Best regards

Alex
