+ear Mr )ar#ester,
:s you should $now, my bac$
garden is situated on the edge
of your feld, with a line of
fences separating them. "n the
recent harsh weather, one of
the fence panels has come
loose and is hanging on by
mere splinters. " am sure you
will agree that this fence
needs replacing.
:fter loo$ing o#er the
documents from when my
wife and " purchased this
house three years ago, it has
come to our attention that
this line of fences that bac$
your feld belong to you.
Therefore, its up$eep is your
responsibility. " am certain
that this matter will be dealt
with swiftly and with .uality.
'e gi#e our than$s in
ad#ance.
Yours sincerely,
;ainbow <arm

+ear Mr )oward,
" must admit " was astonished to recei#e your letter. " had, in
fact, noticed that there was some damage to the fence that
you so $indly wrote to me about, but " can assure you that
the damage was not caused by inclement weather, but by
your dog.
" ha#e witnessed on more than one occasion a Masti2
of large si=e scratching and >umping at the fence. " can be
certain of this because my own dog, a 'est )ighland Terrier,
has often met your pet at the fence to peer through the gaps
that your dog has made. My dog could not ha#e possibly
>umped so high as to ma$e these gaps, and the weather
recently has not been so terrible as to cause so much
damage-
" than$ you for your neighbourly concern, but " am
afraid that " cannot pay to repair the damage? it was caused
on your side of the fence, and so the responsibility falls to
you. " than$s you in ad#ance.
@. Misters )oward and )ar#ester cannot agree on who should pay to
repair the fence. The disagreement becomes public, and a local
newspaper co#ers the story.
