To Whom It May Concern

(1)I am writing to express my concern about one of the rides your
company provided for the Erie County Children’s Festival this past
weekend. (2)My concern is not about the safety of the ride. (3)It is
about the appropriateness of the ride for its intended customers, young
children. (4)The name of the ride—Killer Bees—as well as the graphic
portrayal of bees attacking people and pets illustrated on the walls and
passenger cars–are in no way appropriate for young children. (5)I know
of several children who were frightened by the appearance of the ride
and many adults, including festival organizers, who were very upset.
(6)Very poor judgment was used when this ride was designed (and very
bad judgment was used when your company distributed this ride for use).

(7)I have also written to the Erie County Parks and Recreation Department
with my complaint. (8)I can assure you that we, the parents of Erie County
children, will not allow something like this to happen again. (9)I will
personally do everything I can to make sure that your company does not
receive our counties business in the future if you continue to consider this
ride a suitable amusement for young children.

Sincerely,
Tamara Reed

C is the correct answer, because it is more clear and precise without using excess words.
