Subject: Loose wires unattended outside school gate
Sir,
I am a tenth grade student from ABC School and am writing to inform that your team left live wires
hanging from a lamp post after a maintenance check two days ago.
The wires are dangling right in front of our school.s main gate, and are causing a great
inconvenience to the students and staff. The other day, one of our school peons got an electric
shock while garlanding the school arch during a school annual day.
It would be great if you took immediate action and repair the lamp post. Any further delay could
put innocent student lives at risk.
Waiting in anticipation for your prompt action.
Yours faithfully,
P M (b) Archana Kiran

Dear Grandma,
Hope you are going well. I am sorry I haven.t been able to write to you for the last two months as I
was busy organising an inter-school elocution competition for my school. I was a part of the
organising committee and was responsible for managing the hospitality for the 7 guest schools.
There were 16 finalists in all, 14 of which had come from schools all over the state.
The elocution competition was very successful, and our committee was praised for our courteous
behaviour with the participants. Our Principal addressed the school assembly today and read out a
letter of thanks from all the guest schools that mentioned all our names.
It was a proud moment for me and I was overwhelmed to have received appreciation for being a
good person. Thank you for instilling these values in me. Without your pearls of wisdom, I would
have never been able to take care of strangers as my own people without losing my cool under
pressure. But you have always taught me to be kind to others no matter what.
I hope I can always remain a kind person even when I am as old as you, grandma.
Until next time, love you and miss you!
Yours lovingly,
ABC
