Formal Transactional Letter

Dear Sir or Madam

According to the newspaper from last weekend I was very disappointed with the report about the building of a by-pass for Oldbury, which had a lack of information including lots of errors in the explanation of how the event occured.

The purpose of our demonstration was claiming not only for the extintion of a rare species of snail, but also for the destruction of woodland, a very important fact of our nature that was not mentioned in the report, however, we think that people should know about it as well as the consequences to our environment if the construction company builds a by-pass.

I also have some complaints about some details that you wrote according to the number of the people gathered in the demonstration, which was over 2.000 people and not 200 as you reported. Despite of this, the way that we made the demonstration was silent and pacific, so the information about that protesters sat in the road chanting slogans at workers and police is wrong, and the "troublemakers" as the spokesman for the council said, were not all from other parts of the country, but rather many of them were local residents who are concerned about the destruction of our natural territory.

On the other hand, I would like to ask you for a new report explaining how really was the demonstration and correct the errors of what you said last week. I would also be grateful if you could send a reporter to interview me so you can get information from reliable sources.

Yours sincerely,
Constanza Arellano
