范文一：
Dear President,
Being a senior student in this university, I am writing this letter with the hope of improving the students’ physical condition, as a growing number of students are getting much fatter, according to the latest survey.

Here are some suggestions I would like to put forward. First of all , greater attention should be attached to the physical condition of college students, and I hope you could play a vital role in spreading such an idea. Mean while, more sport apparatus and sport fields may be needed, as more students have enrolled in this great university year by year.

I do hope you can take the above suggestions into consideration and thanks in advance.

Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
