Dear Sir
Sub: Crime Against the Aged
Through the letter, I want to raise the issue of the rising crime and violence against the aged. Every other day, we hear of the murder or robbing of the elderly. There have been even some cases of the old women living alone being raped.
I feel police can do a lot to make the aged feel secure in their homes. Beat constables should be instructed to visit the old and the aged single people from time to time. There can be a special phone number at every police station for the use of the aged. The police officers and constables . should be given special training to be sensitive to the needs of the aged.
I hope the police department will take some effective measures soon to prevent crime against the aged.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully Aanchal

Dear Sir
Subject: Late delivery of letters
I am writing to you in great anguish on a subject which should be treated on top priority by you and your department.
I am suffering a lot of inconvenience due to the late delivery of letters for no fault of mine. Letters reach me as late as a month from the date of receipt at Lucknow post office. I lost a job opportunity as the interview call was received a week after it was held.
I have earlier complained to the Post Master, Babuganj, but to no avail. I now request you to look into the matter and remedy the situation.

It is out of desperation that I am forced to write to you.
My telephone no. 2701XXXX has been out of order for the last fortnight. The first monsoon showers and the subsequent flooding has caused my phone to stop functioning. Since then, I have made several complaints to the Assistant Engineer, Area Manager and the Zonal Manager but the fault has not been rectified.
I request you to kindly look into the matter and give the necessary instructions so that my telephone is restored. I also request you to waive the charges for the fortnight in which my phone was not functional.
Hoping for a positive response.

Subject: Faulty broadband connection on phone No. 2702XXXX
I took a broadband connection on my MTNL telephone no 2702XXXX in October 20XX. I regret to say that the service provided by you is far from satisfactory.
The modem given to me is unable to hold the connection for more than fifteen minutes. This causes service impairment in my work. Besides, often the connection gets weak and I lose the net in the middle of my work. Worst, sometimes I am not able to get the internet connectivity at all.
I request you to kindly look into the matter and make the broadband usable.
Hoping for an early action,

Dear Sir
Subject: Complaint about blaring of loudspeakers
I wish to draw your attention to the gross violation of the peace of local residents by the blaring of loudspeakers.
(Develop these points)
Festival season is coming-fairs, exhibitions, religious gatherings, marriages-all use loudspeakers late into the night. People cannot sleep, students cannot study-working people suffer most.
I request you to strictly enforce the rules that forbid the use of loudspeakers beyond 11 p.m. Peace cannot be restored unless the police takes strict measures.
Hopefully some action will be taken in this matter.
Yours faithfully

Further, Vol. 2 in Nature Study is damaged and in Vol. 10 in The Story of Science, pages 228 to 258 are missing.
It is extremely distressing to find such carelessness from a reputable bookseller like you. Kindly supply the missing volumes and replace the defective and damaged ones at the earliest.

Subject: Complaint about the faulty washing machine
I bought a Wingsung washing machine, model no. LVX20 from your shop on 24th November 20XX during the special Festive Sale. I am extremely sorry to state that within a month the machine has started malfunctioning.
The machine makes a peculiar rattling sound when spinning. Day by day the sound is getting louder. At the end of the wash, the clothes are almost as dirty as before. It is a waste of expensive detergent powder, electricity, labour and time.
Since the fault has occurred within the warranty period, I request you to kindly replace the machine. I am enclosing the photocopies of the bill of purchase and the warranty card.
I hope you will take an early action and do the needful.
Yours faithfully

Dear Sir
Subject: Complaint regarding scooter
This is to bring to your notice the problems that I am facing with my new scooter LX2100, of XYZ company, purchased from you on 7th Sept, 20XX.
I was assured of the excellent quality of the scooter by you. Unfortunately within three months of purchase, I have started facing problems. The brakes have started to give trouble and have led to a minor accident. Then the gears have started slipping and I have lost control of the power and speed of my vehicle. The leak in the petrol tank is the last straw. Now, I am unable to take my scooter on the road. I was assured that the parts of this scooter are easily available. In this matter too, your claims have proved false. I have not been able not find any genuine spare parts.
I request you to kindly solve my problem. The scooter is still within the guarantee period. Kindly take away this defective piece and replace it at the earliest.
I expect you to send your mechanic to see the things for himself.
Hoping for a quick response,
Yours faithfully

Dear Sir
Subject: Complaint about the tour arrangements
My family and I have just returned from a tour of Haridwar, Badrinath and Kedarnath, conducted by your company. I regret to say that it was not a happy experience.
Though we paid for deluxe air-conditioned buses, we did not find them comfortable. The air conditioning did not work; seat cushions were torn and damaged. Staying arrangements were comfortable but service was poor-no blankets till midnight. The worst and the most unfortunate, part was the rudeness of the bus driver and the conductor.
Please rectify these problems at the earliest to make the tours truly enjoyable.
With best wishes
Yours faithfully
Manish Verma
