I kindly request you to review the following points of concern: 1. [Provide a detailed description of the wrongful deductions using specific examples. Mention the amounts charged and explain why they are unjustified.] It is essential to note that I have carefully preserved the property during my occupancy and promptly reported any damages or maintenance issues to your office.
