Model answer

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to draw your attention to a situation that has been developing in my neighborhood.

Recently, I have witnessed many dogs on the loose in the neighborhood.
The dogs, which are fierce looking and not muzzled, are given license to run around the neighborhood. They are intimidating, especially to children and the elderly. I am afraid that it’s just a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured.

The owners of these dogs, a bunch of adolescents, seem to be unaware of the dangers of letting their pets off the leash and have adopted a nonchalant attitude. The teenagers have been asked by numerous locals to keep the dogs under control but all requests have been ignored and the situation has not improved. I therefore believe that immediate action must be taken and I ask that you investigate the matter and take appropriate action as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of injury and serious bodily harm.
