Writing a formal letterTask to be completed: write a formal letter.Scan the following sample letter and find out the main idea.Dear Mr. Brown
I am writing to complain about your plans to start cloning human beings in the UK. I believe this technology is totally immoral and must be stopped immediately.
I understand that other countries have already begun trying to clone human beings, but this doe not mean that we should follow in their footsteps. I am sure that if you conducted a survey among UK citizens, it would show that the majority of people would not advocate this type of scientific research.
To conclude, I urge you to seek the opinions of the people of the UK on this matter so we can end this immoral practice immediately.
