To Whom It May Concern

With my deepest respect and gratitude, I take it as a great honor to send a e-mail to your website. I can get many informations from your website. Thank you. I am Ok-hyeon Cho, one of the people of the Republic of Korea and a student of Hana Academy Seoul. I also work as an active member of the Dokdo Cyber Press, a non-governmental and voluntary organization with the mandate to provide correct information about Korea to the international community, including textbook publishers.

The reason that I send this e-mail to you is that I want to suggest some corrections to your article respectfully.

To my great surprise, I found out that a article of yours have wrongly named the “East sea” as the “Sea of Japan” on the article’s picture. The name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, currently named as the “Sea of Japan” in your article, should be corrected to the “East sea.”

At present, as many international organizations including U. N. agencies have corrected ‘Sea of Japan’ to ‘East sea’, I’d truly appreciate if your web site could join this trend. As a Korean who is fully aware of how the island is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help writing to you.

I humbly ask for your website to seriously consider the issue of changing the “East sea” to the “Sea of Japan.” Or, at least, please name it both 'Sea of Japan' and 'East sea'. Please visit the website (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr) for more specific information on geographical designations.
