Respected Sir,
Today, I want to bring into your notice a common practice that is affecting the lives and environment of our country, adversely. Put simply, I am referring to the indiscriminate usage of the plastic bags in our country. The matter is quite grave as a research argues that the normal time period required for the degradation of a simple plastic bag expands from four hundred to one thousand years. It causes great harm to our ecosystem by disturbing the natural habitat of various species flora and fauna.
Sir, I request you to raise this issue in your newspaper before it is too late. An awareness campaign must be initiated to eradicate the production and sale of plastic bags. Government has to play its positive role by doing effective legislation on this issue as well. I hope you understand the seriousness of the matter and you will raise the issue in your newspaper at the earliest.
I shall be grateful to you in this regard
Yours Truly

Subject: Menace of plastic carry bags
Sir:
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern on the menace of plastic bags. Plastic bags have wreaked catastrophic havoc in our country. The water bodies and the aquatic flora and fauna have been affected the most.
A walk along any river, lake, and beach is sufficient to know the consequences of this ubiquitous ugliness floating. Scientists in their recent research have found plastic to be much more toxic than previously expected. Plastic is making our environment highly toxic.
The state of the water bodies in the city is pathetic. The aquatic life has been choked to death. These water bodies have become the stinking, rotting places which are the breeding grounds of many diseases. Through the columns of your reputed daily I appeal to the people and concerned authorities to look into the matter and ban plastic bags in the city. The need of the hour is to replace plastic with environmental friendly materials. All of us need to join our hands to fight this menace and preserve our beautiful environment. We must stop using plastic altogether. Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Rishi Vaid
