In the article, you read about the tactics loan sharks are using to recruit young people to work for them. Imagine you are the Head Prefect in the school and you decide to write a letter to your schoolmates to discourage them from working for the loansharks and to make sure everyone knows about this problem.
Dear boys and girls,
I am the head prefect of the school and I would like to share some information with you about loan sharks going to schools to recruit students to join their gangs. Loan sharks are illegal money lenders who lend money to other people. For instance, these loan sharks would usually give you a loan of five hundred dollars and demand you to pay back a thousand dollars due to the throat-cutting high interest rates. It is totally not worth it because you would have to pay back twice the amount you have borrowed. If you could not pay back the amount you had borrowed, the loan sharks would hunt for you. Very often, they resort to violence and threats, beating you to a pulp when you could not pay up. Sometimes, they would haunt you by going to your house to splash red paint on the door of your house. So, please do not join the loan sharks or borrow money from them. If you are experiencing problems with any loan sharks, it would be better for you to turn to your teachers for advice and alert the police for help before it is too late. It is illegal to join the loan sharks in their activities. Engage in healthy and meaningful activities at community centres with your friends and family members instead.
Yours sincerely,
Lie Zhou (Head Prefect)
Dear everyone,
I would like to inform all of you about loan sharks hunting in schools. The loan sharks are recruiting people to join their so-called ‘law enforcement team’, thinking of ways to lure you out of your house and make you gamble with them. Once you have lost all your money, they will lend you money and then charge you interest day by day. Some of them would even ask you to pay up immediately after a few days. If you are unable to pay up, they would spray paint outside your house. Sometimes, they would also force you to help them to smuggle drugs into other countries. You would most probably get caught by the law enforcers and given the death sentence. Hence, I would like to remind all of you not to join their association as they would offer you nothing but plenty of trouble. Your academic results would suffer and your parents would be worried sick. Spare a thought for your family and those who really care about you. Steer clear of the loan sharks.
Yours sincerely,
Nigel Tan (Head Prefect)

Dear friends,
I am the head prefect of the school. This message is very important.Being a loan shark is a very serious offence.You have to be very careful not to fall into the loan shark traps.The loan sharks will look for young people like us,to do a job.They will ask you to give out name cards.If you give out 1000 name cards, you will earn $13.Not only that, you will be caught by the policeand also paying a fine og huge sum of money.$13 for giving out 1000 name cards and paying a huge sum of fine,does it all worth $13?Paying a huge sum of fine cost about $500 to $1000, and you earn only $13.Is it a very big difference.Please be very careful.

Dear pupils,
I would like to inform you about loan sharks hunting schools. They are recruiting young people to work for them. First they would lure you out of the house and ask you to gamble with them. And then when you are out of money, they would lend you some money and day by day you have no choice but to work for them for a living. They would torture you so please do not help them.
yours sincerely,
Amelia 5 Resilience
dear boys and girls,
i would like to tell you that loan sharks are recruiting boys and girls from other schools to work for them. they do not do anything good but trouble. so if you see any of them, please do not agree to work for them just walk away. if they are harrasing you please tell your parents do not take things into your own hands.
Response to Lai Sze, I agree with what Lai Sze said. Being a loan shark is a very serious offence.
I think that borrowing or lending from loan sharks is a very bad thing to do. I agree with amelia, because if we do not repay them back the money, they would pour paint on your doors and maybe even hang an pig head there and u would be scared of them. You would also reget borrowing or joining their group.
Dear students,
The current recruitment of students adults to give out pamplets for advertising illegal monry lending services and distributing name cards.
I encourage all of you not to do any jobs recomended on the internets because....Firstly, you are too young to take on jobs.Secondly,you would be working at night and there's a high possibilty of you'all to get hurt.And moreover most who work for them are mostly caught by polices.So never take on loanshark jobs!!!!
Signing off,
Head prefect-Flora Lam
Dear pupils,
I would like to warn you about the loan sharks hunting the schools.They are recuiting pupils of schools to work for them.It is an serious offence to work for them.By working for them,you are being an loan shark.They will lend you money and will increase the money you owe them.In the end,You must work for them for a long time just to repay what you owe them.It will be like being in a prison so I sugest that you stay away from them.
I agree with lai sze that being a loan shark is a very very serious offence.
Dear pupils,I would like to inform you about the loan sharks which are hunting down pupils and employing them to pass down cards to tell people to join them or borrow money from them.as they will make you pay double in what you borrow and hunt you down if you don't pay them back .So please do not join them . your sincerely : natassya
Dear pupils
I am the head prefect and I am going to share some information with you.Please do not join the loan sharks because if you join loan sharksand if you are caught by the police,you have to pay a fine.You would to stand under the hot sun giving out flyers.All of this can be avioded if you do not join the the loan sharks.So do not join the loan sharks.
yours sincerely
Pravind(Head Prefect)
Dear Lai Sze,
I read your comment and there some grammar and spelling errors.Ialso have a suggestion,why don't the security guards of the school prevent loan sharks or even suspicious looking people to enter the school.It might be very dangerous as they migt hunt down students to work for them.If the police finds about the students are working for the loan sharks, they might be fined or even jailed.so be careful not to be hunted down by the loan sharks.
dear fellow school mates, i am the head prefect of the school i had heard that you all had heard about the loan sharks,as you all already know loan sharks hang out in gangs and if you lend from them money they would charge you about 10% interest rate everyday if you do not give them the money back.if you borrowed from them money and do not return them the money they wil find you and beat you up.So please if you meet up against the loan sharks do not borrow from them money. lim jin long(head prefect)
i agree with lai sze.if you fall into their traps,you will be in trouble.we should be smart and not be so gullible.
Dear frinds and classmates
If you encourage the loan shark and borrow them money.You may experience a talk with a police officer.Aws we all know loan shark are illegal for people under 18 years old.
If you read the articles on page 4,there are 2 girls walking out of the police station after being bailed out.You know, you should not accept him or her.If the man threathened, well thats another letter.....
I agree with Lai sze's comment it is not right to borrow money from the loan sharks as you can get hunted down or even get beaten up .It is bad if you help the loan sharks as you only get 13 dollars and you might have to pay 1000 over dollars 5Resilience
Dear schoolmates,loansharks are coming to our school to recruit young people to work for them. As a head prefect,I want to inform you that they may come anytime to recruit you from school. Please do not be encourage by them . What they are doing is illegal,so when you join them you may be caught by the police and brought to jail. In the jail,you may need to get cane a few times. You may not even be able to sit or sleep properly. It is very tough and tiring in the jail. your sincerly,
Clarissa(head prefect).
Dear fellow schoolmates,
I think that you have heard about loan sharks.They are now short of people and are trying to recruit young people.I hope that you will not work for them as they beat people up if they do not pay back.They will also spray paint on peoples house.And if you are caught by the police,you may go to jail.I hope that your will never borrow money from loan sharks as you will have to pay back at least twice the amount.
From:Tammy [Head Prefect]
Dear students,
I am the head prefect and I would like to tell you something about loan sharks.In this article,you may have come some bad things about loan sharks hunting in schools to lend money to people in the school and make the amount higher than they lend it to the people.Illegal money lenders,which are loan sharks,have the intension to charge you money up to a higher amount.Sometimes,loan sharks may ask you to pay back them in your house or if they approach you.They may beat you up if you did not pay them back.so remember always,do not borrow money or let these loan sharks lend you the money!beware!
your sincerely,
teik lim (head prefect)
dear students,loan sharks are recruting students to join their gang,my advice is not to join them,they will be nice to you at first but in the end they will become violent towards you like kick you,slap you or even treat you as a butler,every month you would have to pay the leader aronnd $50,so study in school and do not fall in to the hands of the loan sharks iantay 5resilience
Dear boys and girls of Bukit Timah Primary School,
I am writing to you to adviceyou not to join the loan sharks.Now a days,pupils from other primary schools are joining the loan sharks and being arrested because of giving out phamplets to pupils in the school to join the organisation.
After the police finds out about the illegal things you do and your name will be in the record forever that may affect your future.You will damage the school reputation,you will bring shame to the family and make your parents disappointed.You also may not get a job to earn money for the family and will be poor.
Ihope you will not join the loan sharks after reading this letter.
Sincerely,
Shukri(Head Prefect)

Dear friends,
I would like to warn you about a serious matter. I have been told that loansharks have been hunting down primary school pupils. I believe that they are doing so because if primary school students get caught giving loans, then, the punishment wil be less harsh than the punishment for an adult. If you do get asked to join the loanshark, refuse. It is true that if you join them you will earn money but you will most likely get caught. If you don't get caught then it is true you wil earn quite a sum of money but deep down inside you will know that what you are doing is wrong and you will have a bad feeling for almost the rest of your life. If you already joined the loansharks and only now you realize your mistake, I don't think it's possible to go back anymore. Resulting you to regret your actions. You are doing a favour for yourself by not joining the loansharks. Help other people too by sending them this message. Don't get sucked into the loansharks's trap!
Sincerely,
Your Headprefect,
Anya Prabowo,

Bad news!Bad news!Loan sharks are taking over us!Please do not fall into the loan sharks' trap!Even though they will pay you money,do not join them.They will land you in jail,it is not worth it.However if they force you,just say that you will do it and immediately,report to the principal that you were forced to join the loan sharks.Loan sharks are making use of children like us now because they believe that we will not face a penalty or fine like adults if we are caught by the police.This is false!The punishment is equally severe.The little sum of money you earn isn't worth the risk of a criminal record.Once you are caught by the police,the record will never be erased.Do not fall into the loan sharks' trap!

Dear pupils,
I am the Head prefct of this school.I have come to warn you NOT TO JOIN LOANSHARKS!
WHO ARE LOANSHARKS?
They are gangs that influence you to gamble until you have no money.
Then?
They use runners[young people that helps loanshark gangs ]to lend you money.if you do not pay them on time,[not to mention that they charge a very high interest]they will harass you by
1:splashing paint on your front door[usually o$p$]
2:putting a pig head at your doorstep.
3:putting another lock on your door.
4:knocking on your front door and yelling something like,"you owe as money !return it now!"
Oh and not to mention
they use those young teens or secondary pupils.the police will just arrest the runners and will [hopefully]not arrest the real masterminds![THE RINGLEADERS]
REMEMBER,
IT IS A VERY SERIOUS OFFENCE TO AID LOANSHARKS!!!!
HEAD PREFECT JUSTIN CHUA
Dear students,
we have noticed that the loan sharks are recruiting student at all age. Please be reminded that if you need a loan, do not loan from loan sharks as you need to return at a very high interest and if you do not return the money on time the will harass you and if you notice any friends of yours is acting strangely or if one of them is working for the loan sharks.Please kindly inform the school or any teacher. Thank you.

Dear students
I have received some news thatloan sharks have been lurking at shcools I think that being the head prefect i must stop this from happening.
The most important thing is that not to borrow money from loan sharks as it might lead you to trouble . And try to avoid them as it would save you from getting into deep troble.So stay alert and be aware.
lucas,the head prefect
Dear pupils, this is your head prefect Naomi. I am writing to discourage you from joining the loansharks or taking loans from them. If you join them, sooner or later, you will be caught by the police and be behind bars. Another reason why you shouldn't join them is because you will neglect your studies and friends. Youa also shouldn't take loans from them. If you don't return back the money on time, the loansharks will threaten you or even try to burn down or rob your house. Also, you have to give back 2x the amount of money you borrowed from them, which definitely isn't fair. Hope you understand. Your fellow head prefect, Naomi.
To all pupils,
I am the head prefect. I would like to inform all of you that there has been loan shark activity in the school recently.The principal is very worried about the situation and she has called the police so that they can assess the situation. If you encounter any loan shark, stay calm and do the following:
-Decline his/her offer
-ask for his/her address and number
-Report to your teacher IMMEDIATELY!
The principal will report the case to the police and the police will take action
If you follow the loan shark,
you will be in grave danger.

Dear fellow friends,
I am your school Head Prefect,I am writing to discourage you from joining the loansharks or taking loans from them as there has been an increase of such events.Please do not join the loan sharks as it is against the law and you may get sent to the boy's home, which I think none of you want.You will also be forced to do horrible things.You may be under the impression that being a loanshark is cool but I tell you that it is not cool and you will only pick up bad habbits like smoking,drinking and fighting.You might also get tatoos which are very difficult to take off.I discourage you from they taking loans from them as they are not fair,have high interest rates and they will trouble you and your family if you do not pay back.If you have any financial problems,please do not hesitate to tell them to your form teacher and they would do all they can to help you get over it.So please do not become a loanshark or take loans from them as it does more harm than good.
Regards,
kevin(Head Prefect)

Dear boys and girls,i heard that loan sharks are gangsters that lend you money. If you borrow money from them they will charge you interest everyday. If you overdue the date that you must pay back the money they will find you and beat you up. From:Masonlee 5 compassion
Dear fellow school mates i am the head prefect of the school i heard that loan sharks are now hiring pupils from schools to work for them.If you borrow money from them they will charge you interest upon interest.For example you borrow $1,000 you end up owing them $100,000.If you don't pay them back on the deadline they will hunt you down and beat you up. Even if you need money don't go working for the loan shark.And if a loan shark ask you to work for him don't agree just say :"My parents are waiting for me i got to go." And if the police finds out that you are working for the loan sharks they may fine you or bring you to jail.So don't work for loan sharks.MasonLee 5 compassion (23)
