Dear Mr Smith, My name is Jimena, I live in Tugun, and I am writing to you in regard to the garbage collection system

that is

not working well at all. My neighbour and I are very disappointed with

this

situation, as we have been living here for many years and

this

is the first time that we have experienced problems with the

rubbish

collection. For some reason, the

rubbish

collector is coming every two weeks

instead

of every week, he is

also

not collecting the

rubbish

from every bin, leaving some of them that are on the street positioned in the right place to be collected.

Furthermore

, having an excess amount of

rubbish

in every house is causing rats invasion. We do not know how to handle

this

problem. So please, now that you are aware of

this

situation I hope you can send a collector as soon as possible and cleaners to disinfect our street. We are good citizens and we do not deserve to live in these conditions. Thank you for your attention on

this

matter, I eagerly await your response. Yours sincerely, Maria Ilaria
