Dear Mr . President ,
I am writing to you about the problem of
fish catching in the lake behind my house .
I am very worried because they do not
know use fishing rod or net but use
electricity to catch fish After a short time
they leave the lake , a lot of fish die and
float in the water surface . Other animals
such as frogs , toads , and even birds have
also died from electric shock waves .
I would suggest the local authorities
should prohibit and fine heavily anyone
using this way of catching fish .
I am looking forward to hearing from you
and seeing the actions taken to protect the
environment from the local authority .
Sincerely,
Nam
