Dear Mr. Mayor,
Would you believe that we live right in the centre of your town and we are victims of a total municipal sewer failure? How would you manage if you and your family could not flush a toilet, nor have a shower, nor wash the dishes, nor wash the laundry for nine days? And all this in the middle of freezing temperatures? We have tried to alert your works department already several times and there is nothing they seem to be doing about it. We are in the middle of a major renovation and we find the situation extremely challenging. We are now considering checking into a hotel this afternoon and sending you the bill.
Yours sincerely,
Stek
PS Since the street sewer backup is overflowing into our cellar as I write this, we have taken the liberty of pumping this stuff into the street.
