Dear Sir / Madam,
I would suggest that your company should tell your drivers to clear up all the trash on the ground before leaving.
I am writing to you about the short stop of your trucks around my house on their way to the north.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing good response from your company.
When the trucks of your company have a short break on the streets around my house , the drivers have left lots of garbage on the ground after their refreshment. When the trucks leave the place, the ground is covered with trash and a few minutes later there is smell and flies.
Yours faithfully,
Tran Vu Nhat
