Dear Mr. President,

I am writing this letter to complain about some people who are catching fish in public lakes.

What makes me worried is that they are using dynamite to catch fish. This kills not only the fish but also other water creatures.

I would suggest  you fine them heavily.

I look forward to seeing your solution.

Yours sincerely,

people around here.
