Dear Principal,
I am writing to highlight the fact that many young children are still suffering from polio because people do not realize the importance of the polio drops. Hence I request you to tell your school students to encourage people in your area to take their children who are 5 years and below for the Immunization Camp to be held in the Community Centre in your locality on Sunday, 02 September, 2009 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Chief Minister will personally administer the polio drops between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. The student who brings the maximum number of children will be awarded a certificate.
Yours faithfully
