Mumbai – 400 056
Dear Archana,
I hope you are in the pink of health. I assume that you are aware of the various calamities that the world is facing.
It is sad to know that we humans are the root cause of the poor condition of our planet. It is all our doing that is now costing us dearly. With time, we have realised what we have done and now it is high time that we did something about it.
I request you to do your part as a responsible citizen of this country, more so as a responsible being of this planet. Collect information about the campaigns, drives, and programs that have been undertaken by your school or locality. Become a volunteer for the ones that you are interested in and would like to work for. By doing so, you will make me proud. Also, it will be a small step towards the betterment of mankind.
I hope to see you next week when you return home for the holidays. Take care.
Your loving sister,
Sanjivani

Dear Sir
I wish____________ to your notice the ridiculous product you have recently launched. I saw a TV advertisement for Dr. Clean and its ability _______ '99 top stains'. I bought the product and _________the least, I regret the money I spent on it.
You claim that your Dr Clean stain removal keeps clothes in wearable condition for a long time and thus helps reduce clothing costs. However, let me tell you what happened when I tried _________a stain left by tea from my shirt. _________the stain remover on the stain does seem to make the stain
fainter temporarily. But here is the problem: a little after you have sprayed Dr. Clean on the fabric, the area around the stain seems to melt away. Soon, there is no stain. In fact, there is a hole where the stain was!
Surely this is NOT what you meant when you advertised The stain will no longer be visible to the naked eye?

Sir,
I request you to publish the following letter in your daily to address an important issue which needs immediate redressal.
During week ends motorcyclists are seen racing on the East Coast Road and the Old Mahabalipuram road of Chennai. The amateur racers are risking their own lives and of the public as well. They are fearless and irresponsible, not knowing the price of human lives. Risking others and their lives for their pleasure is highly condemnable.
Even school students indulge in such activities and cause fatal accidents. The racers have started occupying the lanes and streets of busy localities. As such, the violation of traffic rules often results in loss of young lives. Such reckless riders who violate traffic rules should be punished severely.
As a responsible citizen of the society, I request the authorities concerned to take appropriate measures to put an end to this menace.
Yours truly,
Srivatsav
