Outbreak

Dear Sir,
Re: Request for Official Inquiry
I am writing on behalf of many people who are very upset at the recent outbreak of serious illness in our district. About forty people, mostly young children and the elderly, have fallen ill within the last two weeks. Having suffered from scrious diarrhea, high fever and occasional vomiting, they have consulted the doctors in the nearby clinics. The doctors have confirmed that these were symptoms of food poisoning and water contamination. Unfortunately, it is not within their power to do anything about it.
As a result of the illness, many children have to recuperate at home and have missed many lessons in school
Just recently, due to the construction work and underground pipe repairs carried out near the hawker center, many people have complained of a change in the color of tap water and that it has a particular chemical taste. Most of us feel that this could be the root of the problem.
We do earnestly hope that the relevant authority would look into this matter and arrest the problem before it is too late.
Thank you in advance for your concern and help in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Anthony Tan
