Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
 letter to provide some suggestions which regard the recreation centre. I am Sam, currently living in Toronto City in the Woodside neighbourhood for the past twenty-five years. Since my childhood, I always visit the recreation centre to learn about new sports activities. Apart from that, other
people
 who are living in
this
 community frequently visit
this
 activity area to refresh themselves from their stressful lives. Recently, I made a survey, which is regarding the development of the building. Most public are willing to play badminton. So, we request our neighbourhood council to take action on
this
 matter. Apart from that, I personally believe that we need a special activity area for kids.
Hence
, they can avoid injury from adult
people
.
Finally
, I would like to provide some benefits of the building after renovating it.
First,
people
 will transform themselves from fat to fit which is good for their health.
Secondly
,
people
 will get a chance to improve their mental health by communicating with various
people
 which helps them to make decisions with a peaceful mind. I hope you can understand my ideas and I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Sam
