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, I am writing to provide some accurate
information
for your
article
in an international travel magazine. I believe my past experiences make me an expert on the location, and I want to emphasize that you can give incorrect
information
about
Kadıköy
that you mentioned in your
article
.
Kadıköy
is home to unique mosques and historical places and it is well known as the place where the first mosque was ever built, but given examples in your
article
are totally wrong. You mentioned
Kadıköy
as the third selected destination for tourists.
However
,
this
information
is incorrect
according to
government statistics. If you verify your data using the Turkish database, I can provide the exact figures.
This
misinformation could lead to various issues, causing many family businesses to lose money.
As a result
of the
article
, many tourists might think that there is nothing to see in
Kadıköy
and may not want to visit. I strongly suggest writing a new
article
to correct
this
information
. We are talking about at least 10.000 shops and restaurants.
While
I await your positive feedback, I would be grateful if you could reply to my email at your earliest convenience. I am looking forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions or thoughts, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Salih Zeki Köni
