Dear [Manager’s Name or Customer Service],
I am deaf and use American Sign Language (ASL) as my primary means of communication. I have an upcoming appointment/consultation at your [Home Depot / Tile Shop] location on [date and time].
To ensure effective communication, I am requesting that your store provide a qualified ASL interpreter for this appointment. This request is being made as a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires businesses that serve the public to provide effective communication for customers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Please confirm by [reasonable date, e.g., within 5 business days] that an interpreter will be provided. If you need additional information from me to arrange the accommodation, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your confirmation.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
