v) The title ‘on killing a tree’ suggests how humans are cutting trees relentlessly for their different purposes. Trees maintain the environmental balance and protects the nature.

Killing a tree not a simple task and it takes much time. A tree grows slowly by consuming air, water and sunlight from the earth. A simple jab with knife would not kill a tree. Hacking and chopping will not do the task of cutting a tree. To kill tree its roots must be uprooted from the ground which is the most sensitive part of a tree. It remains wet and white for staying inside the earth for years. The roots become hard, brown and twist for staying exposed in air and sun. Then the tree is killed finally.

To,
The store manager,
Fashion today,
A.J.C. Bose road, Kolkata- 700078
West Bengal
Subject: To complain against poor quality product.
Sir,
I beg to state that I am a regular customer of your ‘fashion today’ store situated at A.J.C. Bose Street. Last month I bought a brand new t-shirt from the latest collection of this store. The t-shirt was of blue colour. I bought that t-shirt after seeing it in a glance. It was so attractive and beautiful design. I chose that t-shirt over all other items from the latest collection. I bought that t-shirt for a special occasion. I wore it and everybody praised it a lot. Some even asked me from where I got that t-shirt. But after sometime of using it when the time came of washing I became very disappointed. I am a long-term customer of fashion today so it was unexpected for me to see poor quality product. After washing just for one time the t-shirt lost its bright colour and glow. The colour faded away after washing and it became very dull and unattractive. It is now looking just like an ordinary t-shirt. I cannot even wear it outside now. I spent my hard earned money not to buy an ordinary t-shirt with a big amount.
Kindly look over my concern and allow me for changing the t-shirt. I want to exchange that old t-shirt with any item of better quality. If you cannot maintain the good reputation of your store by delivering good quality products then your business will see downfall soon.
I will expect to listen from you soon. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Ritam Jana
