Subject: Importance of Proper Garbage Disposal

Sir/Madam

I am a resident of Shakti Nagar and want to draw your attention towards the problem of improper garbage disposal in the area.
Our neighbourhood is largely plagued with filthy and messy conditions. The streets are unswept and the roads are wet. Garbage cans are frequently overloaded, and many people appear to be lacking in civic awareness. It causes a slew of illnesses. Despite posters and placards reminding people of their social duties, they continue to pollute the area.
It is our responsibility to address the issue of garbage disposal in a sensible manner. Because cleanliness is a fundamental requirement, we shall make this appeal to the general population. Citizens in our community have started a campaign to raise awareness about safe waste disposal. Everyone is welcome to join in on our effort to make it a tremendous success.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

Subject : Awareness around Animal Rights

Sir/Madam

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to raise awareness about animal rights and the importance of preserving them.

Deforestation, thirst for adventures, greed for money, and other factors are all contributing to the extinction of wild animals today. Because of man’s avarice, many wild animal species are on the verge of extinction. Animals, like humans, have the right to live and also contribute to ecological balance. Despite the fact that the government has launched numerous programmes aimed at protecting wild animals, no positive results have been achieved. Some people keep pet animals but do not take proper care of them. This is not called for and government agencies should create laws to check and prevent such incidents. Many private organizations are making efforts but legal intervention will make strict implementation of rules.

Kindly publish this letter so that we can create awareness among the masses. 

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

Example 3: You are Jasveen / Jasbir, you recently visited a significant historical site. You were astounded to discover it in such a condition of disrepair. Using the clues from the unit ‘Travel and Tourism,’ as well as your own thoughts, compose a letter to the editor of a major newspaper noting the terrible condition of significant archaeological and historical sites. Highlight the lack of vital services, the poor condition of upkeep, and people’s abuse of it. Make suggestions about how to improve the issue.

Subject: Poor Condition of Heritage Sites

I’m writing to express my concern about the egregious damage that is done to our country’s priceless and irreplaceable historical sites. What astounds me the most is the city authorities’ attitude to the provision and protection of these monuments.
These monuments are not only priceless icons of our civilization’s past, but also a very lucrative source of revenue for both the local and national economies. These historic structures contribute to the development of dynamic, cultural downtowns that encourage tourism, art, events, and other activities that encourage businesses, income, and economic growth. These structures’ damaged areas must be refurbished and restored. Tourists should be able to observe these buildings from a slight distance and so these should be surrounded by fencing. Installing CCTV cameras, keeping guards on duty, maintaining cleanliness, and giving some tourist amenities are all things that should be considered. The immediate surroundings of these establishments have become quite unsanitary due to the lack of washrooms.
I request to the appropriate Ministry and local authorities to investigate the situation and take appropriate action. This can be achieved if you highlight the problem through the columns of your renowned newspaper. 

Thanking you

Yours truly
Jasveen / Jasbir.

Example 4: You are a student of Mahaan University, Indore. The university is not providing proper curriculum and guidance to the students because of which students are unable to learn. Write a letter to the editor of a student magazine, Yuva Chetna to highlight this issue.

Yuva Chetna

Subject: To highlight the problems faced by students at Mahaan University, Indore

Sir/Madam

I live in Indore and am a student at Mahaan University. I would like to bring to light a few problems faced by the students at the University.
There is a lack of clarity regarding our curriculum because of which there have been frequent differences between the students and the faculty in recent months. Students are not notified about critical dates, which puts them under more stress. The teachers are not discussing all the topics and so students are facing difficulties while attempting the exams.
It would be good if you address this concern in one of your columns in order to improve departmental efficiency. It would also benefit future students who wish to attend Mahaan University.
I hope you will engrave the preceding.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely

Subject: Awareness about cybercrimes

Sir/Madam

With this letter, I want to draw attention to an important aspect of cybercrime, which is a big source of concern in our world. If you could give my views a tiny room in your esteemed daily, I would be grateful.
Cybercrime has become a major menace to the digital society, and the victims are none other than ourselves. The internet is the sole source of information in today’s world. Everything is digital nowadays, from the work-from-home or attending courses and seminars online. This online form, however, has also provided a new opportunity for hackers. They’re lurking at every corner, waiting to pounce on someone’s email or bank account. Cybercrime has now gotten out of hand. We urgently want stringent cyber regulations and public knowledge of the numerous sorts of cybercrime.
There are several options for keeping our sensitive information private on the internet, including tailored privacy settings and encryption. If individuals are aware of their actions, the chances of being hacked are reduced. In addition, robust cyber law and enforcement are required to ensure that such offenders are punished and that victims receive justice.
I genuinely hope that my concerns will cause people to consider the potential hazards of cybercrime and that they will take further measures when using the internet in the future.

Yours sincerely
Chahat / Chetan

Example 6: You are Naresh / Nandini of Safdarjung, New Delhi. You are deeply saddened by the attacks on elderly persons who live alone. Write a letter to the editor of ‘The New India News’ making people aware of the authorities to guarantee that such attacks do not occur.
Ans:

Safdarjung
New Delhi

The Editor
The New India News
New Delhi

Subject: Issue of lack of security and attacks on old people

Sir/Madam

I am a resident of Safdarjung and through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I’d like to bring attention to the issue of elderly abuse. Physically, the elderly are often frail. As a result, they can’t face the rogues who usually come to rob them.
Any opposition from the elderly can be dangerous to their wellbeing. Many incidences of robbery, pickpocketing, and severe attacks on the elderly have occurred in the Safdarjung Area. Recently, an old aged couple was hacked to death in broad daylight. This has created fear among the seniors.
It is the government’s responsibility to safeguard the lives of senior residents. I suggest that the resident welfare associations should form small groups which visit the lonely couples a few times a day and keep a check on their wellbeing.
Unfortunately, there has been no action despite many inquiries and requests to the authorities.
Perhaps the words in your prestigious publication will do the needful.

Thank you

Yours truly
Naresh / Nandini

Example 7: People have adapted to wearing face masks as a ‘new normal’. But most of them do not know how to dispose of them properly. Spread awareness regarding the disposal of protective masks by writing a letter to an editor of a popular newspaper.
Ans:

Airport Road

The Editor
The Times
New Delhi

Subject: An appeal to raise concern about the improper disposal of protective masks

Sir/Madam

With great respect and faith in the columns of your newspaper, I, ABC, a resident of Airport Road am writing to you. I want to inform you that face masks, which are widely used for safety against Covid-19, are being discarded in inappropriate locations by a segment of the population.
Face masks are being worn by a growing number of individuals to be safe from the disease, but disposing them away anywhere is not acceptable as it can cause many health related as well as environmental issues. People dump these masks carelessly in places like roadsides, pavements, gardens, etc. The elastic bands on these can pose death threat for the animals who mindlessly chew them. Also, these are a hub of germs and microbes and can spread infections. Proper disposal of face masks is crucial for prevention of spread of diseases.
I would like to request the residents, through the columns of your prestigious publication to stop careless discarding of their used masks. The government agencies should sensitize people regarding this issue.

Thanking you in anticipation

Subject: Concern about the rising cases of Monkey Virus.

Sir/Madam

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to present my concern about the spread of diseases like Monkey Virus in our locality.
Now a days many people are suffering from monkey virus because of people coming into physical contact with an infected animal. This is a highly contagious infectious disease and if timely action is not taken, it will spread magnanimously.
Seeing the situation of the people in our locality, I request the government to take action. Animals should be treated with proper medication and those infected should be quarantined.
I hope you will share my request in your reputable newspaper as soon as possible, alerting the government about the situation in the area.

Thanking You

Subject: Art of Living for Students

Sir/Madam

In your respected newspaper’s columns, I would like to give my opinion on the advantages of Art of Living for Students.
I attended the programme that was organised by the Fitness club of my school. This programme would be extremely beneficial for all students. It offers health management methods. Learners were also taught how to deal with academic pressure. We were made aware of the importance of nature, mental well being,  real life social interaction, harms of social media and and ill effects of device use.
In a word, I believe that every student should sign up for such courses. Such programmes should be made known to students, and the administration, in association with all schools should organize such workshops.

Thanking you

Example 10: You are a resident of Shivaji Nagar Pune. You are concerned about the increasing number of road mishaps in your city. Write a letter to the editor of a local magazine “Jan Chetna” highlighting the problem and suggesting measures to check the problem.
Ans:

Shivaji Nagar
Pune
12th June 2023

The Editor
Jan Chetna
Pune

Subject: concern about the increase in number of road mishaps

Sir/Madam

I, XYZ, a responsible citizen of Pune, would like to bring your attention to the rising number of road mishaps in my neighbourhood. The roads are becoming a death trap in recent years.
The root-cause of these collisions appears to be irresponsible and hasty driving. People nowadays live in a mechanised world and are usually in a rush. The speed-barriers and accident-prone-area-warnings are ignored. They are not concerned regarding their wellbeing or the regulations of the road. Another factor contributing to these collisions is the growth in the number of automobiles on the road. Today’s youth yearn for their own automobile. The majority of risky driving is done by young people who are also reckless drivers.
I would like to request the authorities, through the prestigious columns of your publication, to take appropriate stern action against lawbreakers. Through public awareness programmes, make people aware about traffic rules, the significance of speed-barriers, and speed restrictions, so that roads become a safe place for everyone who uses them.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely
XYZ
