To Whom It May Concern,
I’m Li Ming, a student of our university. I’m writing to make suggestions on how to minimize the waste of food in our canteen.
To begin with, the authorities are supposed to cultivate full awareness of thriftiness among all students, during which process the voice of the professional should be taken into consideration. Moreover, introducing effective regulations and ensuring that they are properly enforced would prove essential to the solution of the problem. Last but not least, it is high time that the canteen invested wisely to improve the recycling equipment.
In the end, I want to express my gratitude for your taking time from your busy schedule to read my letter. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future at your best convenience.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming
