Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing

this

email regarding some problems we have faced with rubbish collection, which has caused serious concerns for many residents, in our area. As you might be aware, the collection time used to be 8 at night;

however

, one week ago, we were informed that it would be transferred to 12 at midnight from the 1st of July. A point

that is

worth considering is that a significant percentage of people in our area, including me, are employees.

This

means that everyone sleeps before midnight and,

therefore

, will not be able to put out the litter at the due time. You are requested to kindly revise the decision and change the time to its previous one.

Also

according to

our group consultation, 7 p.m. or the latest 10 p.m.

also

can be dedicated to collecting the garbage. We are looking forward to getting your reply, Faithfully yours, Maria Sobhani
