Dear Anjali,
I hope you're doing well. I’m writing to share my concerns about animal cruelty, which continues to increase due to ignorance and neglect. Many animals are mistreated because of:

1. Neglect and Abandonment: Pets left on the streets due to owners' inability to care for them.
2. Exploitation for Entertainment: Animals used in circuses and roadside performances.
3. Overworking Animals: Animals used for labor without consideration for their well-being.
4. Animal Testing: Ongoing use of animals in product testing.

To combat this, we must raise awareness, support animal welfare groups, report cruelty, and promote adopting pets from shelters instead of buying them. Together, we can make a difference.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
Best,
Ravi Sharma

My dear Father,
You must have received my letter two days back. But I write this letter with a special purpose. I am quite well here.
One of my classmates Nilesh is a bright student. He always tops the list of successful students. He comes from a poor family. His father is a retired clerk and finds it difficult to make both ends meet. Nilesh has to pay his fees and buy some books. But he finds it nearly impossible to cope up with this expense.

I earnestly request you to help him and arrange to send me ₹ 200/- for him. I will help him in paying fees. He is a good friend of mine and I feel that we should help him. Kindly consider my request and send me the amount. My regards to mother and brother.
Your loving son,

My dear Father,
I was very glad to receive your letter yesterday. I am quite well here and hope that you are all well there.
I am preparing for my annual examination and I hope to secure good marks. Our school has arranged a tour to North India during the vacation. I desire to join this tour. I have not seen any place in North India. Some of my dear friends have already got their names registered. We will visit Delhi, Agra, Mathura and many other places of historical importance. Our history teacher will accompany us.

Kindly allow me to join the tour. I have to pay a deposit of ₹ 500/- within a week and the remaining amount off 1500/- in a fortnight. Please send me the money for the tour.
Convey my regards to mother and love to dear Parth.
Please write to me soon.

My dear Mummy,
How is it that I have not received any letter from you for a fortnight? I hope you are all well there. Please do write to me soon. I am worried about you here. Yesterday proved to be a day of ill-omen for me. I was late for school, so I was going a bit fast on my cycle. As ill-luck would have it, a scooterist dashed against me. I fell down. But I had no serious injury.

I have some scratches on my legs. I could go to a dispensary nearby. The doctor gave me an injection and applied some medicine on the scratches. I am well now. I am saved by the grace of God. Please don’t worry about me at all. I shall go to school tomorrow. Please send an early reply. Give my love to Minu.

My dear Uncle,
Many thanks for the precious watch which you sent to me as my birthday gift. I liked the watch very much. It will be my proud possession. I was in urgent need of a wristwatch as I have to go to school and classes regularly. The watch will help me a great deal in being punctual.

We missed you very much on that day. It would have been a great joy to have you, auntie and my cousins with us on that day. But I am glad that your blessings are always with me.
Convey my best regards to auntie, Meeta and Manohar.
I thank you once again.

My dear Minesh,
I was really very happy when I received your letter and knew that you stood first in your second test. Accept my congratulations on your success. But I was worried to know that you are not well since last week.
Dear Minesh, it is no doubt good to study hard but not at the cost of your health. You s should not neglect your health. You should? remember that health is wealth.

You should give s equal importance to study and sports. Sports ! and games will keep you fit. Going for a walk s in the morning or taking regular exercise will? help you to maintain your health. Do not forget s that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I hope to hear from you soon. Convey my regards to Daddy and Mummy.

Our friend Nitesh whom I met yesterday told me that you were ill. He told me that you were hospitalized last week and were advised to stay in the hospital for a week. I was so sorry to learn about your illness. I am much worried about you and wish very much to be with you, but as my father is not well, I cannot visit you. I will meet you as soon as possible.

I know, you are a brave fellow and will face this difficult time boldly. Take medicines and other treatments regularly and I feel sure, you will be well soon.
Convey my regards to your parents and love to little Smita. I hope to see you next week.

My dear Vipul,
I received a letter from our friend Minesh telling me that your dear mother passed away suddenly. It was a great shock to me. I stayed with you for some days during the last vacation. She treated me with motherly affection. How can I forget that? I still remember her loving face and tender care.

I know that words are poor means of expressing our feelings. I am sure God Almighty will give you and your family the strength to bear this shock. We have to resign ourselves to His will.
Please convey my heartfelt condolences to your father and sister.
With regards to all,
Yours sincerely

My dear Meena,
Let me express my sincere regrets for not attending your birthday party. I received your invitation and I was sure to attend the function, but circumstances did not favour me and I could not come to your place.
I was eager to see you and our friends at your place.

But my grandmother had a sudden heart attack. Her pain was unbearable. We had to take her to the hospital. I had to be with her all the while. My mother had to look after my younger brother who is not well. So I could not attend your birthday party. I hope, you will forgive me for not coming to your place. My grandmother is still in the hospital. All the family members are anxious about her.
Please convey my regards to your parents and love to your sister.

My dear Parth,
You will perhaps be surprised to receive this letter. Believe me, dear Parth, it is from me, your dear friend. Accept this letter as a token of my love to you. We quarrelled over a petty matter, which now, I think, might have been easily averted. Now, on pondering over it, I think that it was due to someone’s poisoning our ears. Many are jealous of our friendship.

I spoke harsh words to you, which I should not have done. I really repent of my behaviour. I am really ashamed of my behaviour. I apologise heartily for that. I hope you will forgive me and forget the unfortunate incident. We will be the best of friends as we used to be. I have an earnest desire to see you at the earliest.
Hoping to be your dear friend again,
Your loving friend,

Subject: Nuisance of loudspeakers
Sir,
I would like to draw your attention to the loudspeaker nuisance in our area. During festivals, the loudspeakers go on playing all types of songs from morning till late hours in the night. There are three or four marriage halls in our area. They also use loudspeakers constantly.

Owing to this disturbance, the inhabitants of this area are very much disturbed. Old people find it difficult to get sleep. Students cannot study with concentration. This noise pollution is a great hazard in our area. Kindly consider this matter seriously and do the needful. If this nuisance is controlled, we, the inhabitants of this area, will be thankful to you.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Desai,
I hope you are well. I have to make a request to you and your family, so I am writing this letter to you. Perhaps you know that my annual examination starts next week. I am busy preparing for the examination. The trouble is that the music system is played at full volume! at your place.

It is natural that this disturbs s me and my sister in our studies. Moreover, my grandfather is not well and he is also disturbed. May I request you, therefore, to play the music system at a low tone! This will help us s a good deal. I think you will not feel ill and advise your family members also to play the same at a low tone.
I hope to get cooperation from you.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Nuisance of hawkers
Sir,
A number of hawkers gather near our school premises and sell eatables to students, particularly during recess time. The eatables are kept in an unhygienic condition. Students buy them and fall sick. Nobody can check this nuisance. Same is the case with other schools. Hawkers tempt students to buy things from them.

I hope this nuisance will be stopped by the authorities. Public should be made aware of this nuisance.

Please give publicity to my views in your esteemed paper.

Subject: Request to hold a football match between our schools

Dear Sir,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to consider a friendly football match between our schools. Both our teams are good and the match will give both of us the opportunity to practise skills amongst equals. It would be, indeed, an interesting exercise.

If you agree, do let us know, and we can meet and work out details such as the venue, time and any specific rules for the match. The Principal of our school has given us the permission. What remains is for you to get the necessary permission. I am sure, your Principal too would oblige. Let’s get together and have an absolutely smashing match. Do let us know when we can meet-let it be at your earliest.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,
Subject: Stray cattle nuisance
You must be aware of the recent accidents in the city on account of cattle obstructing the roads and the vehicular traffic. This is all because the cattle owners letting loose their cows on the roads.

It is a common sight cows squatting on the roads creating obstruction to the flow of traffic. Recently, a scooterist was fatally injured as he was knocked down by a cow and today he is lying in hospital with a fractured leg.There is none to take responsibility Although he was not in the wrong still he is penalised. In another ? incident, a car going smoothly had a mishap, a cow suddenly came in front of the vehicle just from nowhere and was hurt a little. Soon a crowd gathered and the car owner was forced < to pay a thousand rupees as compensation.

Isn’t it the responsibility of the municipal authorities and their subordinate staff to remove the stray cattle and allow a continuous flow of safe traffic? The negligent cattle owners should be brought to book and heavily penalised so that the motorists are safe.

I request the city fathers to take up the? matter urgently. I hope this letter, through wide! circulation of your newspaper, would open the S eyes of the concerned authorities and compel? them to take action to let the people breathe a sigh of relief by doing away with the nuisance.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,

Dear Sir,
Subject: Complaint about bad roads
Sir,
I would like to bring to your notice about the bad conditions of roads in the Satellite area. There are potholes and large pits all along the roads. It is too difficult to drive along. Moreover, this is a thickly populated area with schools and hospitals in the surroundings. Bad road conditions lead to a number of accidents. Yesterday I witnessed a small boy being knocked down by a bike which had lost its control due to a pothole on the road.The boy had to be rushed to the hospital. I wrote to the concerned authorities a month back, but no action has been taken so far.

I hope with this getting published In your esteemed daily, municipal authorities would rush to attend to sort out this problem. As I fear, the oncoming monsoon could worsen the situation further.
Yours truly,
Arun

Sub: Reckless driving by youngsters

 

Dear Sir,

 

As a troubled citizen, I feel sorry to say that the youngsters in the city drive at a speed not acceptable in a congested city. They overtake from the wrong side. Many of them are busy doing stunts or have bets on racing.

Everyday there are incidents of horrific accidents. Pedestrians and cyclists are not at all respected. Many of the youngsters drive without proper license.

The traffic police are not able to bring the situation under control.

I request you to write a strong article on this problem so that the concerned authorities rise to the occasion and take proper action against the erring youth and take strict action like confiscating their vehicles and driving licenses so that the people of the city feel safe and secured while using the roads in the city.

 

Thanking you

Sub: Nuisance of hawkers selling harmful foodstuff

 

Dear Sir,

 

I am a student of 12th standard of ABC School and would like to bring to your kind notice that many hawkers sell various kinds of eatables outside our school. Their food items are displayed in the open, attracting a lot of dust and flies.

They also use a lot of adulterated oil and other harmful ingredients. Many children have fallen sick with stomach disorders and vomiting. The school authorities have tried to discourage the students from buying from the hawkers. But students have no alternative and continue to do so.

I would not mind them if they were selling their items hygienically but playing around with the students health is a crime. This problem also exists at other schools. The hawkers have also fought with the school authorities and refused to budge from the area. I request you to look into the matter and take strong action against these errant hawkers. They need to be fined or their things need to be confiscated. Please help us by doing the needful.

 

Thanking you.

Sub: Inadequate Library facilities

 

On behalf of the students of the school, I would like to bring to your notice that we experience an inadequacy in the library facilities. We have only one library period in the whole week, which is not sufficient for doing reference work. The library is also not kept open after school hours

The number of books on subjects like Computers, Physics and History are very less. Also some of the books are in an absolute dilapidated condition and many students do not return books as no strict action is taken. We suggest that the school authorities should contact the Ex-students of the school for donation and books for the library so that the future students may benefit.

Sir, we request you to modernise the library and help us get a good collection of books because we have realised that we need a good exposure to all types of writing. Reading helps us to have a good understanding of our subjects. Looking forward to your positive response.

 

Thanking you and please oblige.
