　　Dear Mr Heppell,

　　I am Sabrina Akhtar studying in a high school and I've noticed that forests are disappearing(消失).

　　You know, forests are disappearing around the world each year. This is because of many different reasons including farming, tourisms pollution(污染), etc. If we stop doing these things, there will be a good future for people of tomorrow.

　　Now I'm writing to ask you to help stop forests from disappearing. You can help by getting shops to stop selling paper made from trees and changing to tree-free paper(paper not made from trees).
