Dear Sir/Ma'am,

Subject: Request to cover an article on an environmental issue

I, (Name), is the president of the (Name of the housing colony) in (Name of the place). I would like to bring to your notice about an environmental issue in our locality. The construction company (Add name of the company) is planning to fell down several trees in our locality posing a threat to the peaceful environment here. These trees provide a home to many birds, animals and insects. They provide shelter to the pedestrians during the harsh summer climates and during monsoon. They are a part of the community lifestyle where people gather around it to spend time together, kids play around it, women collect firewood and fruits from it. These are not just some trees for us and are a part of our community. Many of these trees are so old. These trees are to be protected at all cost.

We sincerely request you to help us in protecting these trees. It would be of great help if you could cover an article on this issue in your newspaper and bring it to the attention of a larger crowd and other officials. Please do let us know what all actions we have to do from our side from the same. You can write a letter to the above mentioned address or call me on the number (add number).

We hope you will consider this request and help us in conserving these trees.

Faithfully,
