B To Whom It May Concern at the Electric Company: I have noticed lately the neighborhood street lights have not been coming on until 8 p.m. This is well after the time the sun sets around 5 p.m. This is upsetting to me because I come home and walk around the block for exercise after work. What if a dangerous person wanted to cause harm to me in the street? I would have no lights around to see the person in question's face or for others to see what was happening. This is a very pressing security issue. It is not expensive to turn the lights on earlier as they are solar powered. In fact, there will be no additional costs incurred by turning the lights on earlier. Therefore, my neighbors and I ask that you consider turning on the lights as soon as it gets dark. Our neighborhood will be safer as a result. Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen Which of the following types of writing is shown in this excerpt?
