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,

Ngoc.
