Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you regarding an article in an International Travel
Magazine
 which contains wrong information about my
town
.
First,
let me introduce myself, I am Gonzalo Fuentes Major of Villa Resell the
town
 that your
magazine
 talked about.
Firstly
, Villa Gesell is a family destination where many families come every summer to relax and enjoy the beaches and their natural attractions, allowing them to have very good moments with their lovers.
In contrast
 with your article that says that it is a destination for young people where nightclubs and bars are the principal attractions. I believe that the
Magazine
 should provide the right information
due to
 it has international influence,
while
 more than 300.000 people all around the world visit our city, they know the pure truth. Providing false information could lead to a bad reputation for your
Magazine
. So I suggest
to do
Change the verb form
doing
show examples
another article talking about the other side of the
town
 mentioning its amazing beaches and natural attractions. In
this
way
Add a comma
way,
show examples
 people could have another point of view of the
town
 and your
magazine
 would not lose its reputation. Hope you take
this
 matter into consideration. Yours Faithfully, Gonzalo Fuentes
