Letter to a magazine ( Semi-Informal letter- CAE ) Dear Sir, I am writing in response to your latest magazine article regarding how useless, according to your point of view, big national celebrations are. I live in a big coastal city called " Ancona" in the middle of Italy and, after having read what has been written down in one of your articles I could not stop myself from writing this E-mail to explain to you what perks national celebrations bring to a country. I would like to talk about " Summer Games " which is a festival who takes place every year in my city within the second week of August. People come from all of Italy to enjoy it, they have the opportunity to watch aquatic shows and eating autochthonous food too, and I am quite sure that you already understood the extent of monetary induced that people bring with them. Last but not least, even less taken into consideration, another aim of this festival is to let the foreigners know about our regional customs and traditions, moreover to enhance the prestige of. our city I am pretty sure this E-mail will give you something to think about, meanwhile, I look forward to discussing this with you at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully Simone Ciacci
