Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing on (a) of myself and my friends to (b) your attention to an incident that took place at the Queen Plaza Shopping Centre last Saturday.

centre like criminals. We were so humiliated that we

in this way. We have contacted the local media about the
incident and look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Jude Seaborne
