Dear Mr. Lincoln,

I am Cheryl, a resident of Weston apartment, living in room 3A on the ground floor. I am writing this letter to request a refund of my rental deposit that I have paid before moving into this apartment.

Last month, we both met and signed the termination of rental contract, I have also cleaned up the house and fix any breakages to ensure that the apartment would be returned in great condition. According to the contract, I would be eligible to receive the refundable deposit within one week since the date of signing the termination of lease agreement; however, two months passed by, I still have not received my previous deposit yet.

I believe that I have complied all the terms and conditions of the agreement so I respectfully request that my deposit will be repaid in the early of this month. If we both are incapable of tackling this case in a satisfactory manner, I will have no alternative but to seek legal advice.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Cheryl Wong
