Task answer
DEAR EDITOR,
I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER REGARDING THE RECENT DECISION MADE ON PLANNING TO EXPAND THE LOCAL AIRPORT IN THE CITY. I AM A RESIDENT OF THE AREA, WHICH IS WITHIN A 900-METER RADIUS OF THE AIRPORT. WE ARE A NUCLEAR FAMILY WITH TWO SMALL KIDS WHO TAKE A WHILE TO GO TO BED. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS RAISING CONCERN AS IT BRINGS A LOT TO THE TABLE. THE FIRST AND FORMOST ISSUE IS THE NOISE OF AIRCRAFTS, WHILE LANDING AND TAKING OFF, AND THE SECOND COMPLAINT IS THE TRAFFIC THAT WILL BE INCREASED FOR THE WHOLE DAY, CAUSING CONGESTION. WE RECENTLY HAD A SOCIETY MEETING, AND THE SAME ISSUES WERE RAISED BY THE RESIDENTS. I WANTED TO REQUEST YOU TO HIGHLIGHT THIS MATTER IN YOUR NEWSPAPER, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR WORK, AS WE KNOW THAT YOUR NEWSPAPER HAS BEEN A VOICE OF THE PUBLIC FOR DECADES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER.
THANKING YOU, YOURS SINCERELY, ABDUL
