Dear Committee members: I did a survey among people and we think it is very important and necessary to start a new art gallery for our district. So I am writing to ask you to help us to do that I have discovered that we have many good artists in our district. We have many painters, both modern and traditional, some sculptors and a few excellent potters. We also have a group of people who meet regularly to practice traditional folk art. At present, none of these groups have a place to display their works. The gallery would provide such a place and would help people in the district to learn more about art and our artists. In conclusion, I believe a gallery of local art and craft would not only encourage the artists and but also makes others proud of our local talent. Moreover, it provides a good place for students to learn and appreciate art. I do hope you will consider my suggestion. Yours faithfully/sincerely/truly,
