Sample Letter 1
203, Balkrishna Apartments 22nd October, 20XX The Editor Subject: Condition of performing Animals in the City Respected Sir, Most circuses and traveling shows use wild animals and keep them for months in cramped transport cages. The animals have no opportunity to move or behave in a natural way. Circuses and traveling shows with wild animals also pose a risk to human safety. Numerous circus employees have been reported to serious injuries or killed by performing animals and circus audience members have been injured when handlers have lost control of their animals. Many performing animals are large, potentially dangerous species that even zoos don’t handle. But when they perform in circuses and traveling shows, they often do so without adequate protection for staff and audience members. Our community should not condone cruelty to animals by allowing performing animal acts to visit, nor should we wait for someone to be injured or killed before we decide to act in the interest of human safety. The government should consider a prohibition on wild animal acts as soon as possible. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Dhruv Sharma |

11, Babar Road To Subject: Noise pollution in the city Respected Sir, Increasing number of vehicles on the roads, rising growth of factories, construction work, loudspeakers used on various occasions, rock and pop music, etc. are various factors responsible for causing noise pollution. Noise control laws are being openly violated. It is the time that the authorities should awake against the danger of noise pollution. They should strictly enforce the noise control laws. The use of loudspeaker should be stopped after specific time. Above all, public needs to be aware and cooperative against the danger of noise pollution because without public cooperation authorities cannot make much difference. It is earnestly hoped that concerned authorities will take immediate and urgent necessary action to relieve the people from the harmful effects of noise pollution. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Srinkhla Dagar |
