Kensing Street, 5E/1
24012 LITTLEPOLE
3 March 2010
To whom it may concern,
I am a resident of Littlepole, in New Delhi. I am writing to address a serious environmental
problem in the neighborhood.
I moved to this neighborhood in January two months ago and noticed that there is a terrible
smell of coal especially in the early morning and evening hours while I'm out for a run or walk.
I have talked to some residents of the area and learned that most of them use low calorie
coals in their stoves or central heating systems. As a result, we inhale carbon polluted air,
and at times when there is smog, it becomes almost impossible to walk around. Also, it may
cause lung or similar diseases in the long run which are fatal or difficult to cure.
I trust that the municipality will introduce a ban on using low calorie coal and raise people's
awareness about the risks involved both in environmental and individual terms.
I am sure that you will do your best and work hard to try to solve this problem. This issue
is a priority as it is a very serious threat to people and environment.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I am looking forward to
hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Myra Sahana

B. Work in pairs and put the jumbled letter of complaint into the correct order. Write
numbers in the boxes.

F Our school building is located at a point which is close to the sewer mains of the town. Unfortunately, nothing has
been done by authorities about a leakage at a point close to our garden. This is a serious threat to the students,
school stuff and residents of the neighborhood let alone the terrible smell and insects caused by it.

F Dear Sir or Madam

F I am the principal of Middleton Primary School. The reason why I am writing this letter is to complain about the
problem of a leakage close to our school.

F The solution to this problem is vital. I'd like you to put a warning sign immediately so that people will not get close
to it, and then repair the leakage as soon as possible.

F I am sure that you will bring a solution to this problem immediately as it is a matter of health.

F I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Lindsey Curie,
