Student Request Letter About THE TOPIC — Unai Paredes

Subject: Request Regarding “THE TOPIC”
To whom it may concern,
My name is Unai Paredes, and I am a 17-year-old student currently studying Bachillerato. I am writing with regard to “THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE TOPIC”, as it is an important matter for many young people.
I find this situation very worrying, as “WHO IS AFFECTED AND HOW.” This problem occurs on a regular basis, particularly “WHEN / WHERE IT HAPPENS.” Many people in the community are being affected by this situation, which often leads to “NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES.” Such circumstances can have long-term consequences for both individuals and society.
Could you kindly “REQUEST OR ACTION YOU ARE ASKING FOR”? I would really appreciate it if you could “FURTHER ACTION OR INFORMATION.”
Thank you very much for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Unai Paredes
