Dear Sir, (Salutation on a new line)

I would like to draw your attention to the menace of
hawkers outside St.
Paul's School in Nehru Nagar of our town.

The hawkers usually sell unhygienic and low quality food stuffs posing
danger to the health of our students. The food samples remain unchecked.
They occupy the pavements causing traffic congestion.
The nuisance goes unabated. The eatables that are sold contain harmful
substances. More over the food stuff is exposed to flies and other insects.
Insanitary conditions are created leading to serious health issues.

Kindly look into this matter with great concern and take necessary
measures and prompt action to squelch the menace of hawkers.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully, / Yours truly,
Santosh Haldar
