What can I do if I'm uncomfortable talking to my neighbor about a nuisance issue?

Generally, it's going to be best to try to approach your neighbour in person if you can because that type of communication is generally more successful in sorting out a nuisance issue. This is unless you're going to be unable to control your emotions or the manner in which you're going to state things to them. If you're in that situation and you feel you need to do it some other way, then I would write them a letter. If you have stationery, use your stationery; use something appropriate to write them a note. Think about it carefully so that you're not being too antagonistic. You may want to approach them at first by saying, "You may not be aware of the following, but I think you should know..." and explain it to them politely; explain why you're raising it, what sort of problems it's creating for you, and ask them if they might be able to remedy the problem in some way. You don't necessarily have to make suggestions to them in the first contact; you may want to, but it may be a good idea just to ask them to think about what they could do to remedy the problem and let you know.
