I look forward to an early response so that we may finalise our programme.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Seeking recommendation for 'Serving Citizens' Award' nominations
Sir
This is with reference to the empathetic social service done by Miss Jiya, Adwait Kumar and Pranit Malhotra (residents of our complex) in rescuing and rehabilitating a few old beggars from our neighbourhood. These students ensured that the beggars were rehabilitated at 'Seva Sadan', an NGO that takes care of the needy in our city.
This selfless initiative, carried out with dedication, deserves recognition. I, therefore, request that you issue a letter of recommendation for these students to be nominated for the 'Serving Citizens' Award' organised by the local municipal corporation.
I would also like to suggest that the RWA should set up a special committee that looks into such acts in the future. The arrangement of academic sponsorships for such children would also be an encouraging gesture.
Yours sincerely
Zac Skaria
