Dear Mr. Morton,
Greetings from Alive magazine. I am very pleased to inform you that your entry for our Readers Travel Writing Competition, A Three-Day Weekend in Mexico City, has been selected to appear in print in next month's issue. -[1]-.
As you may know, Ms. Josephine Tan, who writes for the travel guide Pathways to the World, was invited to judge all the entries. As the author of the winning entry, your name will be announced in our September issue. You will also receive a $500 voucher from www.bookingpros.com, redeemable at one of over 2,000 hotels and resorts around the world. -[2]-. Two runners-up will also be chosen by Ms. Tan, with winners receiving a $150 voucher from Goliath Luggage.
Our editor, Mr. Jason Carter, has also instructed me to ask if you have any photographs of your trip. -[3]-. If so, please e-mail them to me as we may choose to print a few of them as well. -[4]-. Visuals would really help bring your story to life.
Congratulations once again, and we hope you continue to be a loyal subscriber to Alive magazine for years to come.
Yours truly,
Antonio Parrish
