Presentational Writing
You and your roommate have a disagreement due to chores not getting done this semester! You need to write a letter to residence life to document exactly what happened over the course of the semester.

In the closing of your letter, you should ask to move to a new dorm and include a list of your furniture as an inventory for the movers so that your items don’t get lost.
