Respected Sir,

I am writing this letter after seeing the notice on the notice board today about the canteen closing down. I would like to request you to kindly not close the office canteen.

I am well aware that not many employees have been using the canteen lately. However, the reasons for the same are correctable if a little effort is taken by the management. First of all the ventilation system in the canteen is terrible which is why it keeps smelling of the various food items and so people refuse to sit in the canteen for a longer period of time. Second, the furniture is pretty outdated and some chairs and tables are wobbly too, which again discourages people from sitting and hanging out in the canteen.

I believe if the above mentioned issues are taken care of, the canteen can prove to be a great place for the employees to relax in between breaks and catch up with each other’s work. I would also like to suggest that an LED screen be put up in the canteen where sports games can be screened so that more people can visit the canteen. This way employees might even be encouraged to stay after hours, and they might complete their work too while they’re at it. For this, charging sockets for laptops can be provided near the tables.

If the canteen shuts down, the employees might crowd around in the office compound which is uncomfortable for them as well as doesn’t give a very good impression to the visitors. I hope you will consider my suggestions for not closing the canteen.

Thanking You.

Yours respectfully,

XYZ.
