Sample Answer
Dear Sir,
I am writing to extend commendations to you and your team for curating such an engaging and dynamic publication.
My name is Sara Machan. I was shuffling through the pages of certain magazines at the book store and when I saw your magazine named ‘Cosmopolitan’ I was fascinated by its eclectic mix of content spanning from lifestyle and cultural insights to current events that cater to a diverse range of readers.
The quality of the writing and the visually stunning layout of the magazine are especially noteworthy. I have observed that certain sections lack thoroughness and would benefit from more extensive analysis. Furthermore, while I recognize the necessity of advertisements to sustain the magazine financially, I find their frequency and placement to be somewhat hindering to the reading experience.
In the future, I think it would be beneficial to focus on boosting reader engagement, perhaps by involving reader-submitted content or incorporating interactive elements. This would foster a strong community among your readers and bring an added layer of depth to the publication.
I look forward to the upcoming editions of your magazine.
Yours faithfully,
Sara Machan
