Answer 1

If we are writing a complaint letter to our local Council, the best way to end the letter is- I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

• When we are writing a complaint letter to local council, it is about any issues and we would want them to take action as soon as possible.
• Also, it is a formal letter so 'Hope all is well' and 'Hope your neighbour is fine' are irrelevant. These are written only in informal letters.
• The line 'Send someone round here now or else' is a threat and in formal letters we do not threat anyone to look into our problem.
• In such a case, all other options are invalid. The ending line should be about our expectations to sort our problem at the earliest.
