Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to inform you of a issue that has arisen in my area over the last few days. It seems as if people are just dumping their waste illegally at the end of our street. This has angered my fellow neighbours and has caused a lot of concern recently. This is dangerous because it is a health and safety issue – the full bin bags attract all sorts of diseased rodents! It is also not a very pleasant sight to see – I have my house up for sale and any potential buyers are discouraged immediately. Please can you seek to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Many thanks,

Minnie Roll
