sample of a letter of suggestionMr.Xue Sun LeiChief architect 18 HongyangSupermarket design Yuquan County211 Kangwei Road Yuquan County18 March Dear Mr Xue,I learn from the local news that you are the architect who is to design the supermarket.I am writing to ask you to consider the right of thedisabled for easy access.In particular,I would like you to consider thefollowing things:1.Access to the supermarket for people in wheelchairs and those who have difficulty walking.The lifts should be wide enough for the wheelchairs to move around.The entrance should be suitable for wheelchairs on the ground floor.There should be special entry for people for the blind.2.Toilets.There should be special toilets for the disabled.The bathrooms and toilets should have doorways wide enough for a wheelchair,doors that are easy to open and close,and hand-holds that the disabled can easily use.3.Telephones should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach.Generally speaking,a supermarket is so big that it is difficult for one,especially one in a wheelchair to find what one needs.So telephones should be easy to reach for a person in a wheelchair so that he can call the staff for help.4.Shelves.When designing the shelves,the disabled should be taken into consideration.Safety should come first.Thank you for reading my letter.I hope you will consider my suggestions.Disabled people should have the same opportunity as able-bodied people to enjoy thesupermarket and they should be able to do so with dignity.It is very important to use various forms of technology which can assist individuals with various types of disabilities to increases their mobility and independence.I am sure if you design it with good access for the disabled,the supermarket will attract more customers and people will speak highly of your design.Yours sincerely,Sunlei
