Band 6

Dear Sir,

I am extremely sorry to say that I am very disappointed with the hectic schedule provided by your company, which is quite difficult for my fitness.

I have been working for a reputed company called 'Toyota' for the last two years as one of the loyal members of the clerical staff. But a couple of months ago, I noticed that I had been suffering from a serious health issue called obesity due to the sedentary lifestyle in the office. I have to work continuously on a computer screen for eight hours, and sometimes I have to work extra working hours, resulting in an adverse effect on my health. I have gained 12 kg of extra fat in the last two months, causing a concerning problem for me.

Therefore, I would like to make a kind suggestion to provide the facilities for a gym so that I can recover from my health issues and stay fit, and I can give my best result. The gym would be open by freeing up the basement area, which has not been used for the last several years.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Yours sincerely,

Priya Choudhary
