Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you in regard to an article on town centres that was published in your newspaper, which in my opinion is not quite accurate.
To begin
with, the piece mentions that all of the architecture across the country has the same style. Although
this
may be true for some of the buildings, it is not true for all. Further
, it was mentioned that each of the centres was located next to a church, which too is not a general norm.
I would like to point out some of the attributes that my town centre consists of that are not common to other locations, firstly
the building consists of two floors, and with wooden floors. This
can only be seen in this
township. Additionally
, the windows are made of stained glass which is also
a unique feature. Furthermore
, the size of the structure is also
significantly larger than the rest, as the population here is significantly larger compared to other places.
Moreover
, if you or the specific editors of this
article would like to know more about this
location specifically, I would be happy to provide you with a guided tour of the whole area and be of help to provide better insights.
I trust that you will go through this
letter, and be expecting a reply.
Yours sincerely,
Rob Tucker.Submitted by kanishka.wimalasuriya on
