Answer:
FORMAL LETTER
The Editor,
The Hindustan Times,
New Delhi.
Sir,
I shall consider it a great favor if you kindly publish the miserable condition of the cyclone-stricken people of Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the columns of your paper and also issue an appeal for help and funds for these hard-hit people
The cyclone has caused a terrible loss to the villagers living near the sea.
A good number of villages have been swept away. Standing crops have been totally mined. Moreover, the flood-stricken people are passing their days in trees. They are without food, clothing and also without shelter. In certain villages, many families cannot be traced. In many cases children are without parents and parents are without children. The total loss of life has come to about 70 thousand and the number of cattle that were killed as well as washed away runs into millions. It has been estimated that crops worth two crore rupees have also been destroyed.
As regards the property, the conditions are still worse. Numberless houses and huts have been washed away by water. Had not the volunteers of the Provincial Relief Committees reached in time and provided food to the people there would have been many more deaths. The Indian Army, too, rendered a yeoman’s service.
thanking you
your truly,
your name
