Subject: to express concern about the increasing number of road accidents.
Sir,
With due respect I beg to state that I am writing this letter to grab your attention on a rising concern. Whenever we go through daily newspaper or keep eyes on TV screen we see one news in common that is road accidents. The number of personal vehicles has increased rapidly which results in unbearable traffic too. In busy morning, people have to spend much time in traffic while reaching to their individual destination like school, college and office. Some roads are not in proper state like there are holes, hurdles, many parts are broken which causes unexpected accidents sometime. I would like to publish an article on this concern in your daily newspaper for alerting common people about road accident. Road maintenance authority and transport system must take important steps to reduce the number of road accidents.
With improved actions people will feel secured to move out with their vehicles and transport by any public transport medium.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Atanumajhi
