Subject: Complaint letter regarding overflow of drainage in our locality.

Respected Sir,

We are totally five hundred families residing in our locality. We are facing a severe problem of growing problems of overflow of drainage for the last three months in our locality.

This overflow in drainage causes the problem of bad odour and leads to growth of mosquitoes which may lead to malaria. Small children playing outside the door have already been affected by diarrhoea. Sometimes we feel vomiting and nausea.

We have already given many complaints to our local authority. They are always giving us empty promises and doing nothing. So kindly am requesting you to look into this matter personally. If you do the needful then I shall be very much thankful to you.

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

Xyz
