Subject: Request for Measures Against Outsiders Disturbing Campus Environment
Respected Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern that has been affecting the peaceful environment of our college campus.
It has come to my notice, as well as that of my fellow students, that there has been a recurring issue of outsiders disturbing the sanctity of our campus during class hours. These individuals often disrupt classes, causing inconvenience to both students and faculty members.
I kindly request your intervention to address this matter and implement measures that ensure the security and tranquility of our academic environment. It is crucial for our academic pursuits that we have a conducive atmosphere for learning, free from external disturbances.
I propose the following measures:
1. Increased security personnel during class hours to monitor and restrict entry of unauthorized individuals.
2. Clear signage indicating restricted areas and penalties for trespassing.
3. Enhanced communication with local law enforcement to patrol the vicinity and take necessary actions against disruptive outsiders.
I believe that implementing these measures will contribute significantly to maintaining a focused and peaceful learning environment within the college premises.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am confident that your prompt action will help uphold the academic integrity of our institution.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
