Dear Sir/Madam,

a
I am writing regarding the intention to build a shopping
mall which was outlined in the urban development plan.

b
In my neighbourhood there is a great deal of concern
about the effect the mall will have on our local community.
However, what worries us most of all is the fact that
there has been no discussion with local residents. We
understand that before a change of this nature can
become part of a plan, a proposal needs to be sent out so
residents can give feedback on it.

c
In the past few days, I have tried to contact different local
councillors to find out how the plan was agreed, but no
one has returned my calls. I also visited your offices and
asked to see the minutes of the meeting where the plan was
discussed. I was told they were not available. The person I
spoke to suggested that I should write this email.

d
I believe that what you are doing is against the law and
I would formally like to request that local government
withdraws the plan and puts out a proposal that can be
discussed with local residents.

e
If I do not hear from you within two days, my next step will
be to get in touch with the media. This will ensure there is a
discussion of the plan in local media and also online.
I look forward to a prompt reply.
Yours faithfully,
………
