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

Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about the catching of fish of many people in the lake behind my house.

I am very worried because they use electricity to catch fish. After a short time they left the lake, a lot of small fish died and floated on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads and even birds 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,
