Band 5+: You have recently visited a building which is of historical importance and came to know that it's in bad condition. Write a letter to the local newspaper office. In the letter, you should tell: – which building it is – what are the problems – what do you expect them to do

Dear Sir,

My name is Zahra Adams, and I am writing this letter to you regarding the ancient Lisabi Empire located on the outskirt of Agbede Community, Ogun State.

I had the opportunity to visit the Lisabi Empire with some of my colleagues from work, when conducting a research recently on tourist centres in Nigeria. The great empire was one of the highest ranked most popular tourist attraction in the world, as most people visited from home and away.

To our great surprise, the empire was said to have been abandoned for a long time. Sadly, there are lot of cracks on the building, the compund is bushy and full of unwanted materials. However, we managed to get our way into the premises and we found some items which could be valuable, but dusty and rusty such as some Lisabi’s attires, his royal chair and lot of equipments.

I would suggest the local council should visit the empire for proper inspection, assign some expertises for renovation then employ some individuals to coordinate every activities in the premises. On this regard, Lisabi empire will be renowned, generate revenues like the ancient times, and also boost the growth and development of the Agbede Community.

I hope my suggestions will be considered, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Zahra Adams.
