Sample Letters and Applications
Informal Letters
1. Write a letter to your younger brother advising him to work hard in his studies and avoid bad company.
10/34, Obra Colony
Obra, Sonbhadra
15th July 2022
My dear Aman,
I received your progress report by the morning mail today. I am greatly pained to find that you have failed almost in all the subjects. I never expected that you would fail so badly in this examination. It appears you have lost all interest in studies. You have fallen into evil ways and keep company with bad boys. You are an intelligent boy. As you know that our father is not a very prosperous man. He earns money by hard work. He works from morning till evening. Only then he is able to make both ends meet.
I, therefore, advise you to amend your ways and work hard. I am sure, if you put your heart and soul into studies, you can improve in a short time.
Yours
Ravi

New Delhi
5th October 2022
Dear friend Rahul,
I am very happy to share my wonderful experience with you about my visit to a historical place. Last week, I came back from Agra. I went there with my college friends. Our History teacher Mr R.N. Sharma was also with us. We reached Agra in late night. We passed the night in a hotel. Next day, we went to see the Taj Mahal. It was very grand and beautiful. It is the finest and most sophisticated example of Mughal architecture. We liked it very much. Our teacher told us that Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, was built by a Mughal emperor Shahjahan in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The building is made of white marble. Its beauty is of course beyond description. It is a really amazing place to visit. I would love to go to see the Taj Mahal with you again. Please write back to me, whenever you get some time. I will be waiting for your reply. The rest is O.K.
Yours truly

Subject: Complaint regarding nuisance of loud speakers in our locality
To
The District Magistrate
Prayagraj, U.P.
Dear Sir/Ma’am,
I beg to draw your kind attention towards the intolerable nuisance created by loudspeakers in our locality. Earlier, it was a very quiet and peaceful city. Its dwellers felt proud of its neat and clean surroundings and peaceful environment. But of late the people seem to have forgotten the value of peace and serenity. All through the day, we are troubled by loud speakers. When there is a marriage, one can’t sleep even during the night. These are the examination days and the students have difficulty in finding a quiet corner where they may study without any disturbance.
I, therefore, request you to look into the matter personally and take appropriate action against it and provide us some relief.
With thanks
Yours Faithfully

To
The Health officer
Municipal Corporation
Robertsganj
Subject: Application for arranging the cleanliness in our locality
Dear Sir,
I would like to draw your kind attention towards the cleanliness arrangements of my locality. Our locality is perhaps the dirtiest in the district. The reason is simple. It is the locality which has kachcha roads. These roads become muddy with a little rainfall. The water stays on the roads almost all through the year. The drainage is non-existent. The stagnant water creates pits and pools and gives rise to all kinds of diseases.
Therefore, you are requested to inspect our locality as soon as possible and make necessary arrangements for cleaning it at the earliest and oblige.
Yours faithfully

Sir,
This is for your kind information that during summer every year, we have been getting very irregular and inadequate water supply. Due to the scarcity of drinking water, the inhabitants of our locality are facing a great threat. We pay all sorts of taxes to the municipality in time. Even then, we are not getting proper supply of water. It’s really a matter of great concern.
I, therefore, most humbly request you to look into the matter and take proper steps to restore regular water supply at the earliest and oblige

10/21 Gas Godown Road
Obra, Sonbhadra
13th October 2022
To,
The Editor
Dainik Jagran
Varanasi, U. P.
Subject: Complaint about the frequent breakdown of electricity in our locality
Dear Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the kind attention of the Electricity Department to the poor supply of electricity in our locality. There is frequent breakdown. Sometime it is for the whole day or the whole night. When the electricity is restored, the voltage is so low that there is a fear of the burning of costly appliances. Life without electricity has become very difficult. We have to burn lanterns or candles. Thus our studies suffer very much. Thefts have also increased. There is no prior notice about these breakdowns. The residents of this area have brought this fact to the knowledge of the concerned authorities but till date the problem is still the same. We have duly paid all the bills but, in spite of many complaints nobody at the Board-office is paying attention towards our plight willing to solve our problems.
I hope you will kindly publish my letter in your esteemed newspaper so that the authorities may realize our difficulties and take the necessary steps in the matter.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
Saurabh Kumar
