Dear Sir or Madam,
I am delighted to learn that the free use of plastic bags is banned. However, in my opinion, strict restrictions should be imposed. On one hand, many local residents think this kind of bags is cheap and convenient. On the other hand,to attract their regular customers, many businessmen are still using plastic bags.
As tothe low cost and convenience of plastic bags. I suggest that more possible alternatives, such as paper or cloth bags, should be made. If the substitute is cheaper and has more advantages, people will stop using plastic bags. It is unnecessaryto raise the price of plastic bags. In addition, the public should keep in mind the negative influence of the “white pollution”. I am sureyou will find these suggestions useful.
Please inform meif my proposals have been accepted.
Yours truly,
Li Ming

Dear Mrs. Smith,
I amLi Ming, your neighbor, a writer. I venture to write you a letter aboutthe inconvenience caused by your dogs in your garden.
The focus of the complaintis the noise made by these pet animals. For one thing, the fierce dogs make a lot of noise during the day when there is anyone walking through your garden, which seriously distracts my mind while I am writing at home. For another,these dogs may frighten the children in the neighborhood when they are playing after school. Honestly speaking, I do not want to interfere with your freedom of raising pets. ButI really can not work since the dogs are barking all the time.
All in all, there is still much room for improvement. Before I take any further action, I do hopeyou can give up raising large pets like these dogs. Thank you for your time and kind consideration.
Yours truly,
Li Ming
