Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you about the short stop of your trucks around my house on their way to the north.
When the trucks of your company have a short break on the streets around my house, the drivers have left lots of garbage on the ground after their refreshment. When the trucks leave the place, the ground is covered with trash and a few minutes later there is smell and flies.
Yours faithfully,
Tran Vu Nhat

Dear Sir/Madam,
use dynamite to catch fish.
use electricity to catch fish.
These days, many people begin to catch fish in the lake behind your house.
What makes you worried most is they use electricity to catch fish .
A lot of small fish died and floated on the water surface.
Other animals such as frogs, toads and even birds also died from electricity shock waves.
You think that local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone catching fish in this way.
