Subject: Request to organise an awareness lecture on the misuse of mobile phones

Dear Ma’am,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am Saurabh/Shrushti of Class X‑B. I read in the newspaper that uncontrolled use of mobile phones and video games is harming students’ health and studies. I respectfully request you to organise an awareness lecture for all students on the misuse of mobiles, covering health effects, addiction, cyber‑safety and responsible use.

Please invite a counsellor/psychologist or a cyber‑safety expert and arrange the lecture during the next assembly or after school hours. This will help students become more disciplined and improve their academic performance.

Thank you for considering my request.

Yours faithfully,
Saurabh/Shrushti
Class X‑B
