In your letter -Give details of how you and your friends or family use the centre -Explain why the sports and leisure centre is important for the local community -Describe the possible effects on local people if the centre closes.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the termination of your service or
in other words
closing the only sport and leisure centre in
this
area of the town. Needless to say,
this
place is the only reunion part for me and my friends to get together, experience splendid times and do some sport.
In addition
, it is self-evident that everyone who is living in the modern city needs to do some physical exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle
However
, shutting
this
place down will exacerbate the situation and will affect directly the living style of every individual.
In addition
, it is obvious that the more
such
centres exist the better the people's spirit and morale will be despite some possible limitations and restrictions on your side. Thank you for considering my letter and I hope that
this
centre is not going to be closed in the future. faithfully yours, Ebrahimi Keyhan
