I have recently seen your pamphlet in the local newspaper in which your are seeking advice from people and wanted to know about the speakers what you can call for an upcoming event. I would like to recommend a person to you who is highly respected in computer field because of his immense contribution. 

The person, I am recommending is Mr. Manohar Singh, who is Head of Computer Science department in Khalsa college. He is well versed in his field and can talk about new innovations at length. As computers have become ubiquitous and fascinates everyone, his talk on the topic will keep the people attentive throughout the lecture because of his attractive way of delivering speech. In addition to this, he is a good orator, he knows how to keep people active during the talk with his short question answer session. 

I hope you will consider this personality during the final selection of the speakers. I hope that your this year's event will be a gran success and source of knowledge and inspiration for the audience. Best wishes.

Dear ..........,

Answer:

Dear Sir, 

I am one of your tenant who has recently shifted to your 141, New Heights apartment. I am writing this epistle to draw your attention towards the house furniture that needs immediate repair or replacement. 

Dinning table which is kept in the kitchen has four chairs but unfortunately, we can only use two as the other two chairs' legs are infested by termites and these can break at any time. The termites are spreading and will soon damage other wooden furniture. The glass top of the center table is also cracked. You know I have two toddlers in my house. I always try to keep them away from the table so that they do not harm themselves while playing around the fragile glass top. 

I request you to replace the chairs and make appointment with the pest control service company so that the spread can be stopped. Also, replace the glass top as soon as possible to make it a secure place for toddlers. Waiting for your quick response and action.

Yours sincerely 

Amanpreet Kaur
