To,
Commissioner of Police,

Respected Sir,

I am Rajani Malhotra, a civilian of Shivsiddhivinayak Apartment in the nearby locality. I'm writing to express my gratitude for the instruction of "Play safe Holi" that was displayed in our area.

Sir, first of all, allow me to congratulate you on the content of the poster. All the mentioned points are fully applicable and should be kept in mind by all people. Secondly, our area is a perfect place for posters. Because more Holi is played in this place. Throwing water/coloured water or rubber balloons containing water on passers-by, colouring without people's consent, dirt and chemicals are used instead of natural colors. Therefore, many residents have suffered due to rubber balloons and chemical paint.

After these instructions and attractive posters, I hope all residents will consider these instructions and play a safe Holi.

Thanking You.

Yours faithfully,
Rajani Malhotra

Read the following letter carefully, discuss with your partner and answer the questions

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
