 I know that every one of us now is experiencing a crisis because of this pandemic
and this community pantry is a big help for us. What I want to complain about is that, I want
everyone to be considerate of others. I would like to complain about this neighbor of mine who
does not think of other's sake. I would like to request for you to take some actions towards this
problem because some people are also in need not only them.

Although I understand them, I would like you to remind them that they are not the
only ones who needed food, everyone does. Please remind them to be considerate to others
who are also in need.

Please let me know if there's something I can help you in dealing with this issue. I
look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,
Jelyn Cezar
