Dear (sir/madame or just police commisioner),
During the last three months, five homes in our area have been burglarized. As you can imagine, we are very concerned about this trend and hope you will help us. All of the burglaries have occurred on weekend nights when many of us attend high school ball games or other community activities. It is clear that someone is targeting this neighborhood at specific times.
Several of us have met to organize a neighborhood watch program, but we feel we need more help that we can muster alone. We think that increasing police patrols at these vulnerable times and having volunteers remain in the neighborhood on some nights might help. In any case, we need to learn how to protect our homes better.
We would like to schedule a neighborhood meeting during which you or your representative could discuss what action should be taken. Most of the families could be represented on any weekday evening. Could you please let us know if this is possible? Thank you.
Yours faithfuly,
(Your name)
Described roughly/uncontrollable fire
Adumbrate is an academic word that is used to foreshadow something to occur, or as it is used in the sentence here, meant to give a vague description or outline of something. The usage of this word is extremely low according to normal corpus linguistic standards. The root of the word is "umbra" and from the Latin, shadow. And as such is the other more frequently used intention of the word - to foreshadow. In this context of foreshadowing, it is meant to tell what is likely to occur in a novel or story line.
Conflagration on the other hand is a powerful fire. It is meant to be used to describe a fire which is incredibly destructive and intense. A good synonym would be "inferno", as this also includes connotations with hell and/or the devil. A conflagration would be a spectacle to watch and in extremely dangerous to be in or around.
