Want to proofread a letter to a crazy neighbor?
Dear Neighbor,
Neither of us has purchased houses with driveways. We live in a neighborhood which is full of popular restaurants. It isn?t reasonable to expect them to stay open with our support alone. Patrons will drive their cars into our neighborhood and park in front of our homes. We will often find ourselves searching for parking blocks from our own house. Since neither of us made off street parking a priority when we purchased our homes, let?s not fight amongst ourselves. It would be more constructive to bring your anger to the next neighborhood association meeting to works towards a solution to the parking issue in Sunnyside.
This would be preferable to you chasing down my husband who, in the spirit of being neighborly, went to move our truck closer to our house when he saw spots open on our block. Our vehicle was parked on XXX St. for less than 48 hours, within the letter of the law. Your decision to use expletives in the fight you picked with him after chasing him down in your car and circling the block twice was unnecessary and un-neighborly.
Sincerely,
*** I was thinking of sliding this under her windshield since I actually don't know which house is hers. Should I sign my full name?

Wow.
Remind me not to move on the other side of her.
(and I think the letter sounds nice...you sound cordial but let her know that she's being a bit ridiculous.)

I might be a bit late in my response, but how about starting with a strong sentence that explains why you're writing? There is a good chance she won't read the whole thing, so it will help get your point across to someone who has already acted a bit irrationally
