HEADLINE: Letters to the editor: Frustrated with monkeys

BODY:

Whom should I approach to get an immediate response to get rid of 
some monkeys that live just behind our house? These monkeys really 
annoy me. Several times they have entered my house and ransacked my 
kitchen, my garbage bags and have left my dining table in a mess.

I always try to shoo them away by using my broom but these monkeys 
are very aggressive and they try to attack me.

I tried calling 995 but they asked me, "Are these monkeys still 
there?" I told them that the monkeys had already gone back to their 
trees behind my house. Then they said, "Well, then we can't do much 
but anyway you can call us back if those monkeys come to your house 
again."

What if the monkeys leave my house while they are on their way?

I am so frustrated and angry. Can somebody please catch them for 
us?!! (At the time of writing this letter two monkeys just poured 
chilli sauce on my dining table and took away some chocolate bars).
