Re: Decision on closing our leisure centre{1}

I am writing on behalf of my colleagues to express our concern about your decision to close our fitness club and we would like to share with you our opinions on this matter.

As you know very well, many of us go to this club regularlly {2}. We take adavantage of its wonderful facilities, ranging from {***} swimming pool to {***} sauna.{3} The club location is very convenient for emploees {4} bacause we do not waste time commuting there since this centre is very close to our work place. Furthermore, this leisure centre seems to be an ideal place for realxing after a hard day at work. You cannot deny that general health is closely connected with work efficiency{5}.

In addition to have {6} these sports amenities we can also enjoy eating at the small restaurant which belongs to this complex. The food there is healthy and reasonably priced so many employees choose eating {7} there instead of cooking at home.

We appreciate that there is a real need to decrease costs. However, closing the club is not the only solution available. We encourage you to find another ways{8} of saving money. Perhaps some of us would accept a slightly {9} increase in prices of {10} using these amenities, of course with reduced rates.

Taking everything into account, we would be grateful if you could reconsider your decision. We are convinced that retaining this club would be beneficial both for all employees and {***} {11}work performance.
