Answer:

12 Roshan Colony, Alampur 3rd March 20XX The Editor Modern Times Alampur Subject: Safety precautions for the elderly in the city. Sir/Madam, Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I, on behalf of the residents of Roshan Colony/ wish to bring to your kind attention, the murder of the two elderly people that have taken place recently. As a resident of the area in which the attack took place, I write to point out the lack of protection that the seniors are offered. The recent murders, while brutal, are not a surprising phenomenon considering the lack of proper precautions taken to ensure the safety of the elderly. While I mourn the loss of the two souls that were attacked, I also fear for those who are still with us. It is even more surprising to see that despite these attacks, very little is done to ensure their safety. It is important, in today?s times that the authorities take proper precaution for those in our communities who are the most vulnerable i.e., the elderly. I believe that highlighting it through your newspaper would bring it to the attention of the proper authorities so that they can take appropriate and legal steps to ensure the safety of the elderly at the earliest. Thanking you, Yours respectfully, Sangeeta/Sohan
