A letter of suggestion

A letter of suggestion normally has

five parts.

1. The Heading

This includes the address, line by

line, with the last line being the date.

Skip a line after the heading.

2. The Greeting.

The greeting always ends with a

comma. The greeting should be formal,

beginning with the word "dear".

3. The body.

It is also known as the main text.

Generally speaking, the body includes

three parts. The first part (usually

the first paragraph) tells the receiver

that you are writing this letter to

make suggestions on something, and

the main part tells clearly what your

suggestions are. The last part

(usually the last paragraph) asks the

receiver to consider your suggestions.

Don’t forget to encourage the

receiver to take your suggestions.

Skip a line between paragraphs,

especially in typed or printed copy,

and also help the reader.

4. The complimentary close.

This short expression is always a

few words on a single line. It ends with

a comma. The complimentary close

begins with a capital letter and ends

with a comma.

5. The signature line.

Type or print your name. The

handwritten signature goes above this

line and below the close. The signature

line and the handwritten signature are

indented to the same column as the close.

The signature should be written in blue

or black ink.

Skip from one to three spaces (two on

a typewriter), and type in the

signature line the printed name of the

person signing the letter. Sign the

name in the space between the close

and the signature line, starting at the

left edge of the signature line.

A sample of a letter of suggestion

Mr.Xue Sun LeiChief architect 18 HongyangSupermarket design Yuquan County211 Kangwei Road Yuquan County18 March,200_ Dear Mr Xue,

I learn from the local news that you are the

architect who is to design the

supermarket. I am writing to ask you

to consider the right of the disabled

for easy access. In particular, I would

like you to consider the following

things:

1. Access to the supermarket for people in

wheelchairs and those who have

difficulty walking. The lifts should be

wide enough for the wheelchairs to

move around. The entrance should be

suitable for wheelchairs on the

ground floor. There should be special

entry for people for the blind.

2. Toilets. There should be special toilets

for the disabled. The bathrooms and

toilets should have doorways wide

enough for a wheelchair, doors that

are easy to open and close, and hand-

holds that the disabled can easily use.

3. Telephones should be easy for a person

in a wheelchair to reach. Generally

speaking, a supermarket is so big that

it is difficult for one, especially one in a

wheelchair to find what one needs. So

telephones should be easy to reach for

a person in a wheelchair so that he can

call the staff for help.

4. Shelves. When people design

the shelves, the disabled should

be taken into consideration.

Safety should come first.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope

you will consider my suggestions.

Disabled people should have the same

opportunity as able-bodied people to

enjoy the supermarket and they should

be able to do so with dignity. It is very

important to use various forms of

technology which can assist individuals with various types of disabilities to increase their mobility and independence. I am sure if you design it with good access for the disabled, the supermarket will attract more customers and people will speak highly of your design. Yours sincerely,Sunlei
