You have just read an article in an international travel magazine which contained some information about your town that is incorrect. Write a letter to the editor of the magazine. In your letter: correct the information in the article explain why it is important for the magazine to give correct information suggest what the magazine should do about this situation

Dear Sir or Madam, A couple of weeks ago, your popular international travel magazine, in its 250th edition, published an article about my
hometown
in an effort to provide a bit more exposure to the travel-related activities in it. Well, while I appreciate
this
noble effort of yours, I regret to inform you that there is a factual error in your article that requires immediate correction. In fact, your article in question says that the migratory birds
visit
our town during the month of April while the correct information is that they start to
visit
our
hometown
in early February. By the way, correcting
this
information in your magazine is very important for the livelihood of many people in my
hometown
because they heavily rely on the tourist spending of the visitors who come to
visit
our town in order to see these migratory birds.
Therefore
, I would like to request you to please issue a correctional notice in your magazine’s
next
publication about the previous mistake so that the prospective tourists don’t get confused about the timing of the migratory birds’
visit
to my
hometown
. Thank you for your consideration in advance. Yours faithfully, Antonio Perez
