You have just read an article in an inernational travel magazie which contained some information about your town that is incorrect. Write a letter to the editor of magazie. 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 bring to your notice that, the latest edition of your travel
magazine
included an article about Cambridge, but
this
contained incorrect information. The writer described the University of Cambridge as being the oldest in the world whereas the fact is that the oldest university in the English speaking world is in Oxford. The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209, but Oxford was known to have existed in 1096. A
magazine
such
as yours has an international reputation and is extremely influential with travel companies and individuals alike. It is essential that any information published should be accurate and reliable and I was genuinely surprised that the facts had not been checked prior to publication. I feel that the least the
magazine
can do is to publish a correction and an apology in
next
month's
magazine
. I would
also
urge you to ensure that all factual information is thoroughly checked before publication. Yours faithfully, Alan Jacob
