How are you ? I hope you are well. I am also feeling fine.
Now I am writing this letter to you to release some of my ill-feeling to you so as to have a sympathiser of need for keeping the surface of the earth green to the maximum extent as possible.
It pains one to tell you that lot of people are coming now a days every day to the hill in front of our house and cut the branches of the trees everyday and take away lot of branches to sell in the market as a fire-wood. I understand those-people are very poor and need money to make their livelihood . But they should realised that it is very dangerous to reduce the greenery of earth surface. Lot of trees are already cut and the whole surface will be barren within a very short time. I feel very sad that I along cannot do anything to prevent this as there are lot of people cutting these trees and I am alone. I told my parents but they are also not taking any positive step and asked me to do my study work without diverting my mind to outside work. Can you give me some advice how to get relief from the sadness ?
Please reply to me within a short time.
Yours Affectionate
