Dear Madam Maxine,
The reason I am writing to you is to express my opinion about closing our local centre and to ask you not to do that.
To begin
with, my family and I always visit the "ABC" centre for 3 main reasons: there is a gym, a cinema, and it is the only convenient place, which has all that we need, in our town. Importantly, there are a lot of clothes magazines, supermarkets and pharmacies, and the most important are facilities where kids can have a great time.
Secondly
, I do not know anyone who doesn't love visiting centres. It is just so convenient. Think about citizens in this
area, especially those with kids. Where will they take their small children at the weekend? Or where will they go if they urgently need something to buy.
Change the punctuation
?
Therefore
, this
choice is not a good one.
The
Correct article usage
Last
last
but not least, it will only make people angry, which can lead to massive dissatisfaction and protests. Moreover
, everyone used to go there up to three times a week, so it must make a good profit.
I hope I made myself clear and you will change your mind. Thank you in advance.
