Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing

this

letter with a heavy heart after hearing the decision of considering to closing local sports and leisure centre. I oppose that decision and let me explain why.

To begin

, when I was young, I and my friends use to play a lot in the centre lot after school hours. We still cherish our memories in there and still, I feel to go back to the times that were spent around see-saws and merry-go-rounds.

Secondly

, I want to make your attention to the pandemic that we had

last

year. We were happy as a council because we had the lowest death rates compared to the other councils. I have a strong feeling it is because our children had enough physical fitness than the others. Not only juveniles' but

also

adults use sports complexes to improve physical health. I suggest, that if you consider closing

this

valuable asset, just to save money, it will result in raising more money in the future to cure the lonely hearts of your citizens. Because

this

centre is not only responsible for health but

also

it has the symbol of the unity of our community. I would appreciate your immediate attention to

this

letter and help us to protect our sports complex. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Saman
