Answer:

Dear daily news telegraph.

My name is John Smith, and I am a factory owner from Manchester. I am aware that one of your reporters visited my factory, and interviewed some of my workers, and claimed that working conditions in my factory are horrible.

Let me tell you what would be horrible: having my workers unemployed, wandering the streets, begging for food and shelter, because they simply have no other option left. They used to be farmers, but they are not needed in the countryside anymore, and they do not have any land of their own either. Without my factory, their living conditions would be harder.

For this reason, I would appreciate if your reporter visited my factory and had a guided visit, like this I would be able to explain in more extensive temrs why living conditions in my factory are not horrible at all.

Sincerely

John Smith, owner of Textiles XYZ

Manchester, England.
