Subject: Cigarette butts thrown from balcony
Hi N park committee,
Name: XXXXXX
Unit: XXXXXXX
I will like to lodge a complain about residents who are throwing cigarette butts from their balcony . This is a dangerous act because the butts found sometimes are still lighted and may actually cause fire. As you know most people will hang their clothes at the balcony and this butts may actually cause the clothes to get burnt or worse it may start a fire. Also, it causes great discomfort to people who has to smell the smoke and it also causes the clothings to have an undesirable smell. If possible, please put up posters to warn people to behave responsibly by throwing the cigarette butts into rubbish bin where they belong.

Dear XXXXX
Your msg noted. In fact we have already put up a few posters on the risk of fire where the old newspaper placed on the balcony and the attaps were caught fire due to lighted cigarette butts thrown from the air. Unluckily, our 'awareness campaign' does not help much. The smokers have thrown their butts everywhere as you can see either in the lift / 2nd floor vooid area or some hidden in the bush.
Lack of consideration is can lead to air pollution and indiscriminate littering. I think they know too about the risk of loss of properties but they just can't be bothered much.. Moreover. it is quite hard to educate these smokers as firstly we won't be able to know who are the smokers around and secondly, it is their habit to do so.
Anyway, i will put up posters again as a reminder to them. Hopefully they will change their attitude and mindset to reduce the risk of fire.
Thank you
The Management
