Dear Sir/Madam,
I would suggest that your company should tell your drivers to clear up all the trash on the ground before leaving.
I am writing to you about the short stop of your trucks around my house on their way to the north.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing good response from your company.
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

Other animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds also died from electric shock waves. You think that local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone catching fish in this way.

5 sections of a complaint letter
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about the problem of fish catching in the lake behind my house.
Write a complaint letter. Begin with:
I am very worried because people don’t use fishing rod or net but use electricity to catch fish. After a short time they leave the lake, a lot of small fish died and floated on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds have also died from electric shock waves.
I would suggest the local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone using this way of catching fish.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing the protection of environment from the local authority.
Sincerely,
