Subject: Poorly lit roads in the city.
Sir,
Through the pages of your respected newspaper, I would like to bring the problem of poorly lit roads in the city, which can lead to major problems, to the attention of the right people. Because of it, a small number of things happen every day. There have been more minor crimes like stealing purses and chains at knifepoint, which makes it hard to go out after dark. Accidents are another thing that people have to deal with. Without enough light, it's hard for drivers to see things like people, animals, signs, and bicycles that could be dangerous on the road. When it rains, drivers have a harder time seeing, which makes the situation worse.
There are electric poles on the route, but no power. As a result, the authorities have been asked to look into the situation and resolve it as soon as possible.
Hope my letter will find a place in your daily column.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Hamid

While reading a magazine advertising home products, Sakshi Aggarwal came across an advertisement for a stain remover called Dr. Clean. She decided to buy the product but it caused more harm than good. Complete the letter of complaint she writes to the company using appropriate words.
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?
Yours truly
