How to write an email to an internet forum

Hi

My name's Francesc Rigau and I live in Banyoles in Catalonia. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.

In my opinion there aren't many youth clubs and open spaces in the area. Definetly there is a lot of traffic and polution. As a result, a lot of people don't go out because there isn't any site to visit or to go.

I think the council should do something about this. I was thinking this and I find a solution. We should find a land which local people can use for a park, or a garden. We need this quickly, we need an open spaces.
