(Suggestion)
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am writing to you about the pollution which is affecting the lake near my school.
You know, the lake near Le Van Huu Lower Secondary School used to be large, pleasant and elegant However, the lake is quite unbearable now It is dying because of pollution For a long time, people have been throwing rubbish and waste into the lake.
I would like to suggest that something should be done as quickly as possible to stop people from polluting the lake.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Nguyen Lan
