Understanding Tone in Letters
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent changes to the public transportation system in our city. While I appreciate the efforts to modernise the infrastructure, I must emphasise that the sudden implementation has caused significant inconvenience to local residents. It is essential that the authorities consider the impact on daily commuters and seek to address these issues promptly.
Yours faithfully,
John Smith
