Dear Sir or Madam,

The latest edition of your travel magazine had an article about my home town Veraval and I am writing to draw your attention to some incorrect information in that article.

The article correctly mentions that Veraval is a small coastal town. I agree with that. It is indeed a small town on the west coast of India. It is also a busy town. However, the article also states that the town lacks tourist attractions. That is not true at all. Veraval is home to the Somnath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. This temple attracts tens of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world.

Veraval is also a hub of fishing industries. The recently beautified beach is a sight to behold. The article also fails to mention some other interesting details about the town. Veraval is famous for its street food. Local vendors still sell many mouth watering delicacies that Maharajas relished centuries ago.

Such incorrect information hurts the tourism potential of my town and hence I request you to rectify the mistakes and republish the article in your upcoming edition. If that is not possible, you should at least inform the readers about the incorrect information in that article.  

I look forward to seeing these mistakes rectified.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours Sincerely,

Juvi Omar
