Dear Aidil,
Thank you to your letter. I viewed the profile that you posted online at your invitation.
I am shocked to see that you had revealed many personal detail about yourself. I am
therefore write to advise you to immediately remove the information from the website.

I noticed that you had gave out your real name, home address and school. This is a
very risky to do as people could easily track you down. Remember, not all chat room friends
are who or what they claim to be.

I recently read a news report about the boy who met up with his chat room friend only
to find himselves kidnapped and held for ransom. His family was forced to pay RM6000 to
secure his releases. Even though a police report was lodged, the culprit was never caught
because he had fabricated the details in his online profile.

I am not asking you to lie about yourself. Use a pseudonym instead of a real name,
just as most people do. Instead of giving your address, just give a vaguely description of the
town that you live in and the most important piece of advice that I can give you is to never
meet any of your chat room friends in person. It is a well-known fakt that some con men
spend months gaining their victims trustful before requesting to meet them in person. If you
really must do so, then made sure you are accompanied by a reliable adult.

I would like to assure you that I am write to you out of concern. Always remember
that it is best to be safe than sorry. I hope that you will take my advise on this and apologise
if I have offended you in any way.

Yours sincerely,
Ashok
3) REPORT
The report below is about disciplinary problems in a school. It is written by a head prefect to
a discipline teacher. It contains a number of errors. Identify and correct the errors.

To,
The Discipline Teacher
SMK Teluk Batik, Perak

DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS IN SCHOOL

The school prefects have given me feedback on the disciplinary problems that they
have encountered in the course of performing there duties. The problems include tardiness
among students, smoking in toilets or graffiti.

Tardiness is prevalent between students as many of them arrive at the school before
the bell has rung at 7.40 a.m. Although the prefects have given several verbal warning, these
students remain unfazed. The prefect have also noted that this students come to school in
private cars and therefore have none excuse for being habitually late. The prefects have
suggested that teachers impose harshest punishment such as detention for latecomers.

The prefects have caught a few students smokin in the toilets before school and
during recess. Some even dash to the restrooms between lessons to smoking. Most of the
students does not heed the warnings from the prefects. It is suggested that spot checks be
conducted so that prohibited items can be confiscated. Besides that, parents of errant
students will be informed of their childrens misbehaviour.

Students who hung out at the corridors and the staircases during recess tend to
scribble in the walls. Althought the maintenance staffs have repainted the walls many times,
the problem keeps resurfacing. It is suggested that students be restricted to the canteen or
the hall during recess. Corrective action will be taken against these who are caught dirtying
school property with graffiti. For example, they will have to clean up the mess after school.

We hope that our feedback has be useful and that the principal and teachers will
acting against the errant students on the issues stated below.
