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, I am writing
this
letter to express my concern regarding the article about my town in the latest edition that was published
last
month.
Firstly
, the wrong information was given for the name of an ancient
university
in my city, and it was mentioned that Yangon Technological
University
is the earliest institution in Yangon. In fact, the oldest
university
in my town is the
University
of Yangon which was founded in 1878 and is one of the most historical buildings in my country.
Secondly
, Travel Around the World is one of the famous global travel magazines which is issued worldwide and most of the tourists who would like to visit my country will take information from there. Importantly, as an international travel magazine, the facts given should be correct and accurate for all travellers.
Finally
, I would like to suggest that the team should correct the information when the next edition is released and apologies to the public
accordingly
.
In addition
, the editor team should check the paper thoroughly before publishing the weekly articles. I am looking forward to getting your input on
this
issue. Yours faithfully, Hninn Ei Ei Win
