Dear David,
I sympathize with your dissatisfaction with your roommate and I also thank you for your information about your roommate
As I know, your roommate is a new student at our college. Many new students are often unfamiliar with collective life. Therefore, they can make other students discontent, particularly for former's. If I were you, I would talk honestly with him on the issues with which you are not satisfied. Then he will possibly change his life style, so that you both will understand and respect each other.
Actually, at present, our dormitory still has two rooms.If you do not like it here, you can move room at the end of this month. However, there is no single room anymore and you must share a room with someone else. But you do not worry. The roommate you will live with is a good student. He studies hard. He is one of the best students who was rewarded one of by the college for good achievements in the last semester. Therefore, I hope you and your future roommate can get on well with and support each other in study.
As a person in charge of the accommodation, tomorrow, I will meet your roommate and talk with him about your complaint to help him recognize his fault and avoid disturbing you. If he still does not change his habits, I will force him to move out of the dormitory. I hope it will be of benefit to you and others.
Finally, wish you would get along well with new your roommate. Besides, I hope that you will do well in your exams next term. If you would like any further information about this, you can come to my office or email: leetran@abccollege.com
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Lee Tran
