Q: Write a letter to the editor of a daily newspaper complaining about the construction work on your road in the middle of monsoon season causing inconveniences to the people of your locality. Ans: A sample of such a formal letter may be as follows, D- 1801, Neptune Society, DS Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai 400 008. 11th June 2018. To, The Editor-in-Chief, Hindustan Times, Main Street, Mumbai 400 001. Sir, Subject: Construction work in our locality during monsoon season causing us difficulties. Through the medium of your esteemed and respected daily, I wish to inform the municipal authorities of the difficulties the residents of my locality are facing due to the construction and repair work currently happening in our area. Monsoon season has started a few days ago and is compounding our problems. The repair work has been ongoing for five weeks now and is falling way behind schedule. And now with the current weather conditions, we are having persistent problems of water logging and flooding in our area. Another worry is about the accidents that may occur due to the debris lying around the road. Diseases caused due to waterlogging are another one of our concerns. Therefore I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities with the help of your newspaper. Hopefully, you will be able to help us in drawing their attention and resolving this matter at the earliest. Thanking You, Your Sincerely, **signature** [Mr. XYZ]
