Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about the problem of fish catching in the lake behind my house.
These days, there have been a lot of people coming here to catch the fish. The problem is that they use electricity to catch fish. This way, I think, is very dangerous. Right now, if you come here, you realize a lot of fish, small or big, are floating on the surface of the lake. Not only fish but even some other animals such as frogs, toads, and small birds are killed by electric shock waves as well.
I would suggest that you should prohibit people from catching fish here. If not, I am afraid all of the fish in the lake are not going to exist in the near future.
I look forward to seeing your resolution to this important matter.
Yours sincerely,
Nguyen Minh Phuong

Dear Mr ..... ,
I am writing this letter to complain about the factory near our village which has caused much air and water pollution. The factory is dumping a large amount of fumes into the air, which cause the respitory deseases of some villagers. Moreover, the factory also discharges harmful chemical waste into our village lake. It killed a lot of fish and now, no one can use the water from the lake because it is poisonous.
We all think the factory should be responded for their unconcious, dangerous and irresponsible action. We also believe the People's Committee should make the decision of punishing the factory heavily and prohibit them from contaminating the environment again in order to protect the villagers' lives.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope you will give the factory the right punishment.
Yours sincerely,
.........
