Dear Mr. President,
I`m writing to tell you about the problem of fish catching in the lake behind my house. I`m really worried because people begin to use electricity to catch fish. That is not only kill a lot of small fish, other animals such as frogs, toads, but birds also die from electricity shock waves. But what makes me worried most is lots of fish died and floated on the water surface so the water is becoming more and more polluted.
I would suggest that local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone catching fish in this way
I`m looking forward to hearing from you.
Your faithfully
(Signed)
