The Editor,
The Assam Tribune
Chandmari, Guwahati, Assam.
Date-10/10/2024
Sir,
I shall be highly obliged if you allow me a little space in your esteemed daily to narrate the problem of frequent theft at our locality for a couple of months. It has been almost six months that the common people of our locality can not sleep or go out at night due to the problem of theft. Every other house of our native area is affected by this problem. Many people have already lost their valuable gods including jewelers, TV sets, cash etc. A number of cases have been registered but the real culprit has not been detected till now. Police patrolling at night is a common phenomenon, but of no use. A delegation of senior citizen met the local MLA and the DC, still the result is not satisfactory.
I, therefore, urge you publish this letter in your esteemed daily so that the concerned higher authority of the govt take a look at the seriousness of the problem and take some necessary action. I hope you would respond to this request for the greater interests of our locality.
Yours etc
Mr.XYZ

EXERCISE-6: write a letter to the Editor of an English daily about a bad piece of road at your locality.
Answer-
To,
The Editor,
The Assam Tribune
Chandmari, Guwahati
Date-10 june'2025
Sir,
I shall be highly obliged if you allow me a little space in your esteemed newspaper to narrate the problem of bad or deplorable road condition at different parts of our locality. The common people of this area have been suffering from this problem for almost ten months. The problem has been made serious by the frequently passing loaded tractors, dumper trucks and other heavy vehicles during rainy season.
The road condition is so serious that at any moment fatal accidents may occur. Considering this issue we approached the local administration but of no use..
Hence, I urge you to publish this news in your daily so that the concerned govt. authority may take a look into the problem and take some urgent measures.
Your's etc
EXERCISE-7: Write a letter to the Editor of an English daily about the frequent power cuts (load shedding) in your area during study hours.
Answer:
To,
The Editor,
The Assam Tribune,
Chandmari, Guwahati.
Date: 14th May 2026
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities toward the problem of frequent load shedding in our locality.
For the past few weeks, our area has been suffering from irregular power supply. The situation becomes worst during the evening hours, which is the prime time for students to study. As the Higher Secondary final examinations are approaching, this constant power failure is causing a great loss to our academic preparation. Despite several complaints to the local ASEB (Assam State Electricity Board) office, no permanent solution has been provided yet.
Therefore, I request the higher authorities to look into the matter and ensure a steady power supply, especially during the night, for the sake of the student community.
Yours etc.,
ABC
EXERCISE-8: Write a letter to the Editor of an English daily expressing your concern over the rising prices of essential commodities.
Answer:
To,
The Editor,
The Sentinel,
Guwahati, Assam.
Date: 15th May 2026
Sir,
I shall be highly obliged if you allow me a little space in your esteemed newspaper to highlight the burning issue of the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities.
The common people are currently facing immense hardship due to the daily increase in the prices of basic items like cooking oil, pulses, LPG, and petrol. For middle-class and low-income families, it has become nearly impossible to manage the monthly household budget. Artificial scarcity created by some dishonest traders and hoarders has further worsened the situation.
I hope the government and the Food and Civil Supplies Department will take immediate steps to check the price hike and take strict action against black marketers to provide relief to the general public.
Yours. Etc
