Example Letter
Dear Sir,
I am writing with regard to your recent review of the Friends of Forest Hill charity rock concert. I wish to disagree with several of your comments as follows.
To begin with, the venue opened its doors two hours before the event began. The writer must have been a later comer who arrived after the performance had begun.
I strongly disagree with your comment regarding Silver Moon. Although it is true that «Black Mud» did not play as advertised, their replacement, «Silver Moon», are equally well-known entertainers. No one felt disappointed by the change.
Furthermore, regarding the problem with the sound quality, this was only a temporary prob¬lem and lasted no more than ten minutes. Technicians quickly repaired the fault and we were able to enjoy the music again.
To sum up, I believe the whole event was well organized and an overall success. I hope, you will print this letter together with an apology to the performers, fans and event organizers like me, who are looking forward to a similar event in the near future.
Yours faithfully, Timothy Tuller.
