Subject: Complaint regarding late delivery of letters

Sir

This is to bring to your kind notice that the beat postman of our area is not performing his

duties well. He never delivers our letters, money orders, parcels etc. on time. He visits only

once a week and delivers the letters of the whole week that day. As a result of his careless

attitude towards duties, we often get deprived of the important information of marriage,

death, etc. of our relatives and friends.

Several times people could not reach on time to attend the interview or join service due to the

negligence on the part of the postman. We have repeatedly requested him to be regular and

deliver the letter on time but he pays no heed to our requests.

I sincerely request you to personally enquire into the matter and take immediate action for the

redressal of our grievances.

Yours faithfully

Answer 2

Explanation:

A dash is a horizontal line that shows a pause or break in meaning, or that represents missing words or letters. Note that dashes are rather informal and should be used carefully in writing. Dashes are often used informally instead of commas, colons and brackets. A dash may or may not have a space on either side of it.

Do not confuse a dash (—) with a hyphen (-), which is shorter.

1. Use a dash to show a pause or break in meaning in the middle of a sentence:

My brothers—Richard and John—are visiting Hanoi. (Could use commas.)

In the 15th century—when of course nobody had electricity—water was often pumped by hand. (Could use brackets.)

2. Use a dash to show an afterthought:

The 1st World War was supposed to be the world's last war—the war to end war.

I attached the photo to my email—at least I hope I did!

3. Use a dash like a colon to introduce a list:

There are three places I'll never forget—Paris, Bangkok and Hanoi.

Don't forget to buy some food—eggs, bread, tuna and cheese.
