Dear sir/Madam

My name is john Steve and I am currently living in Brampton at Triple crown street. I am writing this letter to request you that the street I am living at is not in a good condition and that need urgent attention and construction.
Actually, the road in front of my house is poorly damaged which leads to too many accidents. Although, it went through construction last year however, as a result of heavy snowfall, massive destruction has taken place. Many people find it difficult to use the road at night. It has been found that number of requests has been made to the authorities but they are reluctant to repair this.
It is my humble request to you take immediate action to repair this damage and that would be highly appreciable by all the residents of the street.

Yours sincerely
John Steve

Punctuation is faulty. The writer expresses a position, but the development is not always clear.
Some main ideas are put forward, but they are limited and are not sufficiently developed. Writer needs to include more grammatical structures.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Reza Moghaddasi residing in No 104. Karoon Building, Tehranpars St, Tehran. I am writing this letter to inform you about a damage recently made on the road in front of my building. The Water and Wastewater Organization authorities have recently dug a pothole to lay tubes under ground. After completion of the work, they ignored to repair it leading to difficulty for all residents in the area. For instance, I paid for my car fixing $ 200 just due to this problem.
I would demand you to take immediate action to solve this problem. I appreciate your attention and looking forward receiving your response as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
Reza Moghaddasi

The purpose of the letter is not clearly explained. The tone is inappropriate at places. Information and ideas are evident but not arranged coherently, and there is no clear progression within the response.

Dear sir,

My name is Ihilesen Egbokhare. I am a resident of House 1, real road, London and a constituent of your council.
I am writing to inform you of the damage done to the road leading up to my house in recent weeks. There is a porthole which seems to have appeared suddenly and which keeps expanding following the recent rainfalls, thus making access to the street difficult. My neighbours and I have met to discuss the best course of action and have voted to notify you sir of this occurence.
I would appreciate it if you could send out a road maintenance team to assess the situation and provide feedback on the most appropriate course of action to take in fixing the road.

I look forward to your response,

Yours faithfully,

The tone of the letter is variable and sometimes inappropriate. There is a limited use of cohesive devices with some inaccuracy. Simple vocabulary may be used accurately but the range does not permit much variation in expression.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Arundhathi Sudhakaran residing in flat no 34 ,Al bakit building near westzone supermarket,Dubai. We are facing a serious issue with the main road in front of our apartment. The road has been completely damaged due to the heavy rain and flood occurred last week.
The tenants in the apartment are struggling to move around. It is affecting our daily commute to school , work and other activities. Most of the school bus and pickups are coming only till the 25 th street therfore we need to cross the road and walk through the dirt and waste water accumulated in the road.
We have already registered a complaint to the council and still waiting for a response.Your kind attention in this regard and suitable action would be much appreciated.

Regards
Arundhathi

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this to bring to your notice the condition of the damaged motorway opposite my place of residence.
I, Grace Wilson, currently residing at 6th Lane, Rock-Wood Street, Pillsbury, NF. 8675. For a decade, I have been a resident of this place which is my native town.
Last week there was a sudden rainstorm, which caused greater damage to the highway in front of my residence. There are big potholes on the street which is making it difficult for the riders to drive by. The holes are bigger than avoidable sizes danger the car getting stuck in it and cause damage to the vehicle. The Pavement has wider cracks which makes the road bumpy and rough to ride on due to breakage of the smooth layer.
I would suggest calling for the Road construction department to analyze the damage caused and take the precautionary measures to reconstruct/repair the way and make it flat and safe for vehicles to drive upon.
I look forward to a favorable response at the earliest possible.
Yours faithfully,
Grace Wilson.

Dear Sir

I am writing this letter to draw your attention towards the deteriorated road condition in front of my house. My name is Amit Sapaiya and I am residing in Quarter no 9,Phase-3 of Rakkar colony built and maintained by Himachal Housing board.

The road passing in front of my house is entrance road to colony and is always under use by the residents or the guests. The road has built up big pot holes mainly due to regular passing of tractors and trucks for under construction houses in newly opened phase-4 of Colony. Last monsoon season has worsened the condition. It has become a cause of traffic congestion and can potentially result in any accident.

I request you to take up the matter on priority and initiate necessary action for repair of the road.

Yours sincerely
Amit Sapaiya

Dear sir,
I am Joseph living in James street. My house is the third house on your left after the first entrance. I am writing to draw your attention to the poor condition infront of my house.

The road is filled with potholes making it difficult for one to have a smooth ride on it. Also, the drainage system is very poor as the gutters are filled with dirt. This makes it difficult for water to pass during the raining season thereby, causing water to stand in the potholes making it a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

I will like you to consider allocating a day where every inhabitant of my street can come out to do some work on the road like emptying the gutters to ensure proper water passage. Concerning the potholes, we can call a road construction company to come and evaluate the damage and give us advise on how to solve this problem.

I will be looking forward to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully,
Joseph

Dear Region 2 Council,

I am writing to inform you that the main road in our area has recently been damaged. My name is Golnoush Salehi. I have been living in Araste Street in this distinct.
About 2 weeks ago, some labourers were working on BTC which is used for boosting the phone’s wireless connection. It goes to say that the main road was dug for this purpose. Unfortunately, they did not fix it and leave left the area. Since the road is problemtic, we have heavy traffic and cars could not commute easily.
I hope you find a great solution and remedy our issue immediately. Because all residents suffer from this problem. Thanks for your time.
I am looking forward to hearing your response.
Yours faithfully,
Golnoush Salehi
