Dear Sir /madam I Suman Preet Kaur, resident of a paradise colony, House number 206, Amritsar want to bring a few lines under your kind consideration. In our colony
garbage
 collection system is very poor as the litter-handling persons are not coming on a daily basis because of that a heap of leftovers is lying in the dustbins.
Moreover
, waste materials like leftover vegetables, fruits and food materials will cause bad odour in the surroundings.
Subsequently
,
this
garbage
 becomes a reason for many health issues in our community.
On the other hand
, rats flies and mosquitos started growing which caused many diseases like dengue, chikungunya and infection.  It's my humble request to take strict and quick action against the
garbage
 system so they can come on a daily basis and collect the
garbage
  I hope you will act upon my request Yours faithfully  Sumanpreet Kaur

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
