Dear Sir or Madam, The purpose of writing
this
Linking Words
letter is to officially launch my complaint regarding your
plans
Use synonyms
of building a new
airport
Use synonyms
in our neighbourhood.
Firstly
Linking Words
, I am highly dissatisfied with the fact that I had to know about your
plans
Use synonyms
through my teenage children during our evening catch-up moments and they knew about it
while
Linking Words
surfing the web. We have council meetings every fortnight and it wasn't mentioned at the
last
Linking Words
meeting which was held
last
Linking Words
weekend,
this
Linking Words
is an indication that the council chairman has not been duly informed within the past week. I think it would have been more appropriate to let your supposed host community know about your
plans
Use synonyms
before publicizing them over the internet.
Secondly
Linking Words
, our area is a very quiet one which is the major reason a good number of us chose to live here and building an
airport
Use synonyms
here will not only constitute noise pollution, it will
also
Linking Words
intensify traffic congestion. There is an
airport
Use synonyms
situated about fifty kilometres from our estate and I honestly do not think having another one close by is worth the
while
Linking Words
considering the gross discomfort it will result in. I will suggest you do some findings about that
airport
Use synonyms
to ascertain if it could accommodate your facility for the good of all of us who live here. Thank you and I hope you reconsider your
plans
Use synonyms
. Best regards
