Due to this, I have to suffer a lot. It was an interview call letter. Due to the negligence of your postman I have lost a golden opportunity of my career that could change my life. The letter was delivered to me after the end of the scheduled date for the interview. No excuse will be considered for such negligence in such types of public works.

So I earnestly request you to take necessary steps against the concerning postman and to ensure the delivery of letters in exact time/timely.

Thanking you,

 Yours faithfully,

 World Day Celebration in Our School

              By   :  {Your name}

Midnapore, 24th April, 2023 : World earth day is celebrated on 22 April each year in our Godapiasal MGM School to spread awareness about conserving earth. The program started at 7 am with a speech given by the head of science club on how we should conserve our earth and mother nature. We should try and plant trees, keep wet waste and dry waste separate in order to make way for easy decomposition. We should try to implement the rule of 3 R’s, that is re-use, re-cycle and reduce. At 8 am the program started with a skit performed by the students of class 10th about the effects of global warming and how we as responsible citizens can try to reverse the effect of it. After the skit ended, a small tree plantation event started where we all planted one plant in our names and water it everyday for helping the nature. At 11 am we were given a small break for lunch after which we all had to submit a small article on how we can conserve nature and mother earth efficiently. We all submitted our reports and reviews on the program with enthusiasm and co-operation. At the end of the program we all pledged to do as much as possible and produce less waste. We also took the initiative to plant and water trees of our school and locality. Every student will write a report on their plantation programme at the end of the year to maintain a record. At last we all thank our teachers and principal ma’am for giving us knowledge on how to conserve mother earth.

Subject: Increasing road accidents

Respected Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities and the general public towards the increasing incidents of road accidents.

Road accidents are increasing day by day. They are on the rise especially in big cities. Every year large numbers of people die in these road accidents. It is one of the biggest reasons of unnatural deaths in India. Reckless driving seems to be the root cause behind these accidents. Other causes include drunk-driving, bad road conditions, breaking traffic rules or norms and avoiding safety gears like seat belts and helmets.

A few strict steps such as strict enforcement of speed limits, heavy penalty on law violators and making driving tests more stringent are needed to avoid such type of accidents. People should be made aware of traffic rules and proper safety measures.

I, therefore, request you to kindly publish this article in your esteemed newspaper so that it may generate public interest and attentions and the concerned authorities look into the gravity of matter and take adequate measures to prevent it as much as possible.

_Thanking you_

*Yours truly*
