Dear Sir,
POOR QUALITY OF FOOD PREPARED FOR STUDENTS IN YOUR SCHOOL
I am sure that you are unaware of the poor quality of food prepared for students in your school. Therefore, I am writing to complain about this and to explain ways in which this situation can be remedied.
Sir, it is obvious that the quality of food served in our canteens in the school is poor and unhealthy. As students, we have made our complaints known to the food sellers in the school several times through the food prefect but nothing is done about it. We even went further to make our grievances about the poor quality of food served to the Chairman of the school's food committee yet there is no improvement. The Chairman only promised to tell the food vendors about our complaint but we do not see any improvement in the quality of food served.
The situation is growing worse by the day as the food vendors continue to serve poor quality food. In fact, many students fall sick after eating food served in the school. The fruits sold to students are not better as they are sometimes unripe and bad. Last week, a student complained of stomachache after eating the food sold in one of our canteens. The student had to be rushed to a hospital for quick treatment. This is one example as many other students have suffered from one illness or the other as a result of the poor quality of food served in the school. Obviously, the students are fed up with this situation and I am sure that if something is not done about it, the school may witness a riot or a mass protest which may damage the reputation of the school.
The situation needs to be remedied as quickly as possible. Firstly, the school's food committee should be reconstituted with new members who are committed to students' welfare. It seems as if members of the present food committee have failed to bring about a change needed to ensure that quality food are served in the school.
Secondly, food vendors should be made to give samples of their food to members of the food committee to examine everyday before students are made to buy food from them. If their food is found to be of poor quality, they should be empowered to seize such food.
Apart from this, teachers should be made to buy food from the school's vendors. This will make the teachers to ascertain the quality of food sold to students. Presently teachers don't patronize the school's vendors as they go outside the school to buy food. This does not allow them to experience what the students are experiencing. Sir, I believe that if you take these steps, the situations will be remedied and students will be able to have a new lease of life.

Yours faithfully,
