respiratory disorders.

By Akshay
I am a school student and travel by the public bus every morning to school. I have
learnt that there are various benefits of travelling by public transport. It not only
helps us save time, money and energy but also makes the environment cleaner
and greener. Public transport has many advantages. It is a cheap means of travel,

the ride.

I request you to look into this matter and replace the
damaged items immediately. Send me the study table
that I had ordered. Please find enclosed the photocopy of
the bill and photo of damaged items.
