20xx Subject: Conversion of covered drain into green belt Sir, I am a resident of Mansarovar Garden, living opposite the 2-km stretch of drain which was covered recently. This drain was a major health and sanitary hazard and covering it has been a great achievement of the MCD. Now the MCD plans to construct 200 shops over this 2 km long stretch. On behalf of the residents of our locality I would like to protest against the construction of these shops. These shops will not only disturb the peace and calmness of our area but these will cause traffi c-jams also. Infact, we would like to request you to convert this stretch into a green belt or a beautiful park. This will not only enhance the beauty of our area but also be of great advantage to the residents of the area. We sincerely hope you will comply to our request and sanction the beautifi cation of our locality. Yours sincerely

Dearest Pundeer,
Though it’s not been even a week since I returned from your village, but I am already longing to return to your simple and serene village, which offered me a unique opportunity to be close to nature.
On my return journey itself I could feel the gradual but steady transition from a clean environment to the polluted areas as I was approaching the city. Nevertheless, I have brought back with me fantastic memories of the village life, green fi elds, the pure food and the joys of simple living. I am sure I will cherish these memories till I plan another trip to your village. I also ensure you that I intend to take your invitation, to visit your village again, most seriously.
Once again, I would like to thank you and your family for giving me a great time at your village. Also give my due regards to all elders and love to the children.
Yours lovingly
Mohit
