Kolhapur, 416002.
Subject: To inculcate the importance of sports by providing
basic sports facilities to schools.
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am Mst Rohan/Ms Rima studying in XYZ school in
Kolhapur, am writing this letter to express my joy when I read
the news that Ms Hima Das, the Indian sprinter won 5 Gold
medals at the Olympics this year, this is a proud moment for
her and as well as it is for the country, She stands as a role
model to many children to actively participate in games and
sports,
At this point i would like to bring to your notice that although
there are many children l who are inspired by her and wish to
continue practicing the required skills but they lack the basic
sports equipments.
I would therefore request you to kindly arrange to provide
basic sporting equipments to schools that the students
interested may get sufficient practice at their skills and
continue to bring honour to our country just as Hima Das did
Thanking you,
Mst Rohan/Ms Rima.

Dear Minu/ Mohit,
I know you will be very happy to receive my letter and i too
am very happy to share with you my happiness when i read
the news of the Indian sprinter Hima Das winning 5 Gold
Medals at the olympics,even though she had very little
resources she did brilliantly well and made everyone proud of
her, even though i don't like to participate much in games and
sports, she inspires me and stands as my role model.
I started taking eager interest and participated in games and
sports more enthusiastically and it has brought me many
benefits. I have now begun to feel very light and active,my
diet has become completely nutritious as I need a healthy
body to play sports, my level of concentration and focus on all
the activities that I do has increased sharply as a result of
which I got better grades compared to the last term.
Sports keeps one healthy in mind and body, to grow naturally
strong with the right balanced diet and physical exercise as it
can be practised at any age, but starting early in childhood
helps you keep the bones and immune system stronger.
There are so many health benefits for human beings with
participation in games and sports,yet people do not include
this practice of healthy living, i am happy that i have started it
early to keep myself happy and healthy all along, i hope you
understand my joy of this living this healthy lifestyle and also
begin to start one.
Give my regards to your family ,especially your younger
brother/sister and keep on writing to me.I eagerly look
forward to your letters.
Yours Lovingly,
Rohan/ Rima
