Formal Letters

1. Write a Letter of Complaint to the Electricity Department About Frequent Power Cuts

To
The Executive Engineer,
West Bengal State Electricity Board,
Salt Lake, Kolkata – 700091

Subject: Complaint Regarding Frequent Power Cuts in Our Locality

Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the frequent power outages (বিদ্যুৎ বিভ্রাট / बिजली कटौती) in our locality—GC Block, Salt Lake. This issue has persisted for the past two months and is causing tremendous (অত্যধিক / अत्यधिक) inconvenience to all the residents, especially students, office-goers, and the elderly.

The power cuts occur regularly during the late evening hours, sometimes extending to three to four hours at a stretch. During hot and humid (আর্দ্র / उमसदार) weather, this becomes unbearable, as we are left without fans or air-conditioners. More importantly, these outages affect the water supply because the pumps cannot function, leading to serious hygiene and sanitation problems.

Several residents have already submitted online complaints through your website, but the problem persists without any significant resolution (সমাধান / समाधान). It is disheartening (হতাশাজনক / निराशाजनक) to note that a developed urban area like Salt Lake is experiencing such outdated service patterns.

I request you to look into this matter with urgency and ensure uninterrupted power supply. Regular maintenance of transformers and cables is also necessary to prevent this recurring issue. If the problem is related to a larger infrastructure failure, kindly inform the residents and provide a timeline for its resolution.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,
Sourav Mitra
Resident, GC Block
Salt Lake, Kolkata – 700091

To
The Principal,
St. Paul’s School,
Darjeeling – 734101

Subject: Request to Organize an Educational Tour to the Indian Museum

Respected Sir,

I, on behalf of the students of Class X, humbly request you to organize an educational tour to the Indian Museum in Kolkata as part of our Social Studies curriculum. The museum houses an exceptional (অসাধারণ / असाधारण) collection of historical artifacts (নৈমিত্তিক জিনিস / वस्तुएँ), including those related to archaeology, anthropology, botany, and geology.

Such an excursion would not only enhance our academic knowledge but also create awareness and appreciation for our cultural and scientific heritage. As per our syllabus, we are required to prepare a project on ancient Indian civilizations, and visiting the museum would give us practical insights.

We propose the date of the visit to be 15th July 2025. We are ready to follow all school protocols and will be accompanied by three teachers. The entire Class X is enthusiastic about this educational opportunity, and we promise to maintain discipline and decorum (শিষ্টাচার / अनुशासन) throughout the trip.

We hope for your kind approval and necessary arrangements.

Yours obediently,
Priya Sen
Class X – A
Roll No. 12
On behalf of Class X Students

The card was lost while travelling in a local bus on 12th June 2025, and despite all efforts, I have not been able to retrieve it.

5. Write a Letter to the Municipality for Installation of a Speed Breaker

To
The Municipal Commissioner,
KMC, Behala Division,
Kolkata – 700034

Subject: Request for Speed Breaker Installation at Diamond Harbour Road

Respected Sir,

I write this letter to draw your attention to a serious safety concern in our locality—reckless (উন্মত্ত / लापरवाह) speeding of vehicles on Diamond Harbour Road, near Ashirbad Apartment.

Due to the absence of a speed breaker, many vehicles zip through this stretch without slowing down, endangering (বিপন্ন করা / खतरे में डालना) the lives of school-going children and senior citizens. There have been at least three minor accidents in the past month. Most residents are afraid to cross the road due to fear of collisions.

Our locality houses a kindergarten, an old-age home, and a community clinic. Despite repeated verbal appeals to local officials, no action has been taken.

We urge your office to conduct a survey of this area and install a speed breaker and a pedestrian crossing at the earliest. We are also willing to sign a petition (আবেদনপত্র / याचिका) from the residents’ association if needed.

We trust your office will take prompt steps to resolve this issue and restore safety.

Thanking you,
Sudeshna Roy
On Behalf of Ashirbad Apartment Welfare Committee
Kolkata – 700034
