Alexandria, Virginia

Gentleman:

As an air lin pilot I do, in the interest of the safety of the passengers I carry, my crew and myself, protest the erection of an electrical power plant with smoke stacks immediately south of the Washington National Airport. Your cooperation and assistance in stopping this project, which has already gotten under way, will definitely save the lives of some American citizens. Failure to take action on this matter will undoubtedly result in serious accidents and the loss of lives of many American citizens.

Your interest in this item of public safety is sincerely appreciated.

Very truly yours,

NOTE
In addition, add your own argument. You are well-versed with the kind of air safety menace an obstacle of this character creates. Be diplomatic and courteous, but don't spare the horses in your remarks.
