Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to bring to your attention a piece of disturbing news that I would like you to publish in your newspaper ‘Qusais Times’. I have heard of plans to erect a new apartment complex on the site of ‘Qusais
Park
’ from several sources. Firstly
, I saw civil engineers taking various measurements inside the park
; in addition
, the park
’s staff members mentioned this
plan when they were queried by me.
The park
is of utmost importance to our local community as people go there to play various sports such
as soccer, tennis, and basketball. Also
, families use it for social activities during the weekends. Therefore
, closing the park
will affect the local residents as there is no other park
within 10 km. distance.
I would like you to publish an article about the drawbacks of this
action and express the local community’s great disapproval of the plan. I have also
collected the signatures of most of the residents who are against this
project.
In the meantime, please do let me know if you need any additional information.
I look forward to seeing your article soon in the newspaper.
Yours faithfully,
John Doe.Submitted by Toni R on
