Subject: Involvement of domestic servants in crime

Dear sir/ma'am,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the public in general and police authorities in particular towards a problem which deserves an immediate attention and necessary action.

It has been observed that the acts of crime such as theft, house-breaking, kidnapping, and murders are increasing day by day. Newspaper reports reveal that persons working in houses for cleaning, cooking, etc. are involved, directly or indirectly in such acts of crime. They either collude with
anti-social elements to make easy money or indulge in the heinous and nefarious act of stealing, kidnapping and murder themselves.

Owing to the seriousness of this situation, I think police should make it mandatory for people engaging domestic servants to get clearance from the local police station after registration and proper verification. The police must show alertness and far-sightedness while dealing with such cases. Kindly highlight the aforementioned issue in your esteemed newspaper so that some action can be taken to curb the effects of such miscreants and decrease the risk of people being affected by it.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,
Lorraine
