TRANSACTIONAL LETTER

Dear Mr. or Mrs.


The propose of my letter is let you know that your article about the last event in Oldbury has many mistakes. I am one of the members who was arrested for participate in the last demonstration against the by-pass in our town. I just read your article about us, but I have noticed you did not write everything as it happened. I am not sure if you made a mistake or you just wrote your article with the propose to protect the by-pass. Well, let me remind you the article and tell you what you omitted on it.

As you said in your article, we did a demonstration last week where we were protesting against the building of the by-pass for our town. I want you to know what the reasons are for it, one of them as you pointed, is for the extinction of a rare species of snail, but it is also for the destruction of woodland. Second, in your report you estimated at least 200 people who met on the outskirts, but I think you forgot to put a zero because we were 2,000 people protesting.

Continuing with your disaster report, because I can not say anything better about it, you wrote that our protest was not peaceful and we were sitting on the road and chanted slogans at workers and police. Let me tell you that we were very silent at the moment of protest we do not like the other kind of protest. We are hard workers and many of us are residents from here.

I do not know which one was your source of information to do this article and I can notice you were not there. I am one of the person who participated in the entire demonstration until I was arrested and that happened at the end. I can be your main source of this matter. I would like you to interview me to fix this huge mistake against to us and moreover for our environment.

Yours faithfuly,

Jeannette Ulloa
