Letter Writing (Samples and Instruction) My dearest friend, Recently I have noticed a habit of yours that is becoming a serious problem. It is your smoking. As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with terrible smell and the ashtray is always overflowed with cigarette butts. You are ruining your health smoking. Nicotine in the cigarette not only destroys your brain cells, but also damages your lungs and windpipes. Heavy smoking correlates highly with cancer. The scientists have already proved that, and I am not scaring you. Smoking harms not only your health, but also of others around you. Our roommates sometimes have to stay away from the dormitory for fear of the terrible smell. As a result, the brotherhood among us is gradually fading. So you see the bad effects of smoking outweigh the “good feeling” by a large margin. It is quite to quit this habit if you are determined to give it up. Where there is a will, there is way. We will always be of your help. Yours truly, Shi you A Letter to the Mayor Mr. Mayor, As a senior citizen of this city, I noticed from the City News on City Channel that you smoke in various occasions. Obviously, you are a heavy smoker and have addicted to this habit for years.

Within the city, the mayor is the most influential public figure and sometimes he is respected as the model of life for children. “The mayor smokes too ” Students who are advised to quit smoking would thus justify their behavior. Outside the city, a mayor is the representative from who people form their impressions about the city and the city people. Therefore, considering your social status and influence, it is important for you pay attention to proper behavior. Citizens in this city all know that you are not only a tactful statesman, but also a high-educated intellectual. I think it is the most improbable that you neglect the fact that modern science have approved that smoking does great harm to the smoker’s health as well as the health of those who breathe the second-hand smoke. We all admire your wisdom and your knowledge and hope you will make a wise choice between smoking and living healthily, not only for you, but also for all the people of this city. I personally used to be a cigarette addict, but I gave up the habit at the age of 56 when I realized the harm of smoking.
