Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter to express my dissatisfaction given by a piece of incorrect information about my hometown that I read in a
magazine
which you are the editor. It was written in the article that one of our greatest tourist spots, called "Pão de açúcar" is located in the heart of the north zone.
However
, the "pão de açúcar" is actually based

the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. These are opposite directions,
therefore
this
mistake must be corrected for the maintenance of the accuracy of your
magazine

being a tropical city, with many beaches and famous places
such
as the "Corcovado" and "Pão de açucar". In the meantime, violence and the increase of robberies in the favelas are

magazine
, with
such
importance and visibility, gives the wrong direction for tourists, they might head into the favelas and suffer some severe consequences for that reason. Thereby, there are many viable ways to solve
this
situation and soften the damages of the wrong information in the previous article. I recommend that the editor prepare beforehand a reparation note correcting the information to the
next
edition of the
magazine
.
In addition
, it would be beneficial if it
also
contains a map of Rio and tips on how to take the subway and the train. Yours faithfully, Beatriz Inacio
