Subject: Help for Kerala flood victims 

Sir 

I am writing this letter to appeal to the people of our country to come forward in helping the floodstricken people of Kerala. Recently one of the worst floods have hit Kerala in decades. Owing to copious rainfall that started on August 8, 2018, all the dams of the state were filled to capacity. The gates had to be opened to keep the dams safe. The incessant rains further deteriorated the flood situation. Approximately 370 people died in the floods. Thousands of homes had been affected and damaged. More than a million people had to take shelter in relief camps. It will take many months of hard-work to bring life to normalcy in Kerala. 

The entire nation has come forward to lend a helping hand to the Kerala flood victims. Central Government, State Governments, Union Territories, Multi-National Corporations, Big Business Houses, Celebrities, Sportsmen and women, schools, colleges, and common people have been contributing to Kerala’s Chief Minister’s Relief Fund generously. Even the help from foreign countries is pouring in. It will take many months of hard-work to bring life to normalcy in Kerala.

Through the medium of your esteemed newspaper I appeal to the people to contribute liberally. Kindly give my views enough space in your esteemed daily. Thanking you. 

 Yours Truly

Varun
