Dear Sir,
Subject - Wrong details about the article
I have been a regular reader of your newspaper for a while now and have often spent hours going through the articles. I regret to inform you that one of the most recent articles about the global warming, published on 03 March, 2020 had a few details wrong.
The name of the key speaker was spelled wrong as was the date of the speech. There were also certain grammatical mistakes. I understand that running a newspaper is hard work and mistakes often creep in. I urge you to correct these and issue an apology to the reader who may have been misinformed through the article.
Yours Truly,
Saksham
Answer:
The Editor
The Daily Times
Dear Sir or Madam,
Three days ago I read an article in your newspaper, the Daily Times, about a local hero who saved seven children from an impending fatal accident almost five years ago. He is also a revered doctor and a beloved father and a husband. I am personally known to him as a former college and would like to point out some of the inaccurate information that the article included about him.
In relation to the specifics of the article, it was published in the Daily Times on the local news section on 18th November and it focused on how valiant Mr Alfred’s act was to risk his own life in order to save others. This was a great read and I must commend the article. However, the mention of his serving in the Air Force in 2001 is incorrect. He had been, instead, in the Navy and served as a doctor, not a soldier. Moreover, he does not work for the Turnberry Hospital anymore, despite the claim. He is now retired and enjoys his time with his family.
As a clarification, and because I really appreciate your effort to highlight his noble acts, I would like someone from your newspaper to contact him and apologise for the mistakes and then publish a correction regarding the article.
Thank you for giving the matter your attention and I hope to hear your reply soon.
Yours faithfully,
