SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr. J,
My name is G B and I am a resident of Chandigarh. I am a patron of your newspaper, The Tribune. I am writing this letter to express my discontent with an article that was published in the Chandigarh Tribune supplement, on May 1, 2017.
In this article. Ms. H, a well-known chef has critiqued the restaurant, Under the Willows, which is located in Sector 26, Chandigarh. She has mentioned that the food there is excellent, but the ambience of the restaurant is very dull and not decorated tastefully. I have been a regular at this restaurant, since it opened last year in August. I visit it at least once a month; in fact I was there for a family lunch just last week. In my opinion, the restaurant is decorated very aesthetically and its ambience is very pleasant. I think it has a very nice theme of willows and the interiors have been designed, keeping that in mind.
I understand that everyone has a right to their opinion and we all may have different choices. However, the tone used by the writer is more of a judgment than an opinion, which is not fair and not a responsible way of assessment. I suggest that when such an article is published, it should have a disclaimer that it is only the writer’s personal opinion and doesn’t reflect the view of all the customers in general. A disclaimer to this effect should be printed at the beginning of such articles.
I hope you understand my perspective and would consider my suggestion.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
