Sample Answer
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Alexander Steve residing in the apartment Unitech Blossoms, Flat no 8, Bellandur Bangalore. I would like to draw your attention to the pothole in our area which was due to the laying cable for telecom services. Our residents have informed the telecom authorities many times but they are reluctant to repair the road.
The telecom authorities dug deep holes to enhance their services but did not repair the road after completion of their work. Only half of the road is available for use which results in traffic during peak office hours. The rainy season has started, and water clogs in the pothole and the transformer beside it has wires which extend till the pothole and into the water creating unsafe conditions. Many people find it difficult to use the road at night.
I would suggest you take immediate action to repair the damaged road. I would really appreciate your help in this regard.
Yours Sincerely,
Alexander Steve

Dear Karan,
I am Ankush Moitra, a resident of Rosewood colony in Newtown, street number 90. I am writing this letter to express my dissatisfaction and draw your attention to the poor condition of roads in my locality.
With the onset of monsoon, every year the roads in front of my house get severely damaged. Yesterday, when I was bringing my son back from tuitions on my two-wheeler, the front tire hit a pothole filled with water and both of us ended up falling on the ground. Since I was already aware of the poor road conditions, I was riding at a very low speed and thankfully we got away with minor injuries.
I think it’s high time we find a permanent solution to this problem. Proper alert signs should be put up at the beginning of Street 90 immediately so anyone entering the lane is aware of the potholes. It is my earnest request to you to get the roads fixed with quality materials so that they don’t wear off with the next season‘s rains. We have already seen accident rates shoot up in this area last year during monsoons. Hopefully, this year right action will be taken before something worse happens.
I sincerely request you to pay heed to the matter and take necessary actions for the betterment of the society.
Yours sincerely,
Ankush

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am Shazia Atyab residing in 14th Avenue, Gaur City 2, Greater Noida West. This is regarding the damaged road in front of our society’s main gate. Six months back, sewage work was carried out during the construction of the adjacent tower. It got completed in a month’s time however road was not repaired.
Due to damaged road, residents are facing difficulty as there is traffic jam during office commuting hours. Moreover, few school children have got hurt while boarding / deboarding their school bus. It is difficult to walk on foot too, during night time.
Request your immediate attention to the inconvenience caused by damaged road and wish to have a speedy action.
Thank you.
Regards
Shazia Atyab

Dear Sir/Madam,
This well-considered letter intends to bring it to your notice on drastically damaged roads in front of my residence.
I am Jo, resident of Hyderabad Municipal council bearing address Plot number 51, Vijay Sai apartments, behind Brilliant techno school, Nagole,Hyderabad,500068.
The approach road of the building stands considerably destroyed. Heavy rains from the past few months have caused pit-holes throughout the approach road in our lane. This caused a water clog exactly at the front gate of the apartment.
In addition to this, continuous pouring has resulted in a failed drainage system with a filthy stream following out into the holes. Making our daily life difficult especially during the night.
Send out a team to do initial repairs, draining out the clog’s, and filling out the pits’ with gravel, cement. However, this being a temporary resolution, I request you to layout new roads while we have supporting weather.
I hold high expectations and hope you can take effective measures to my problem.
With Regards,
Jo.
