Dear Director-General Mark Thompson of BBC,
Complaint about presenting women in advertise
I want to complain about how women are presented in your advertise. I get the impression that those women in television only are shown in commercials about household articles and as a mother I don’t really accept this.
Women only advertise for food and household products and they are always placed in areas like in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the children’s room, or in a shop. But times have changed. These days women put more value on a good education and they also have the right to go to work and earning their money. Men are just as well in keeping the household and looking after the children, but through these commercials their self-confidence will get lower when they always see the perfect housewife in television they may feel not accepted as a househusband. Such commercials show in a way that only women are experts in keeping the household and only they have to do all the work and looking after the children.
It would be good if also men are shown in such advertisements, you should support them and you shouldn’t try to bring the women back behind the cooker!
Yours sincerely,
Julia Murphy

You present the argument alright. There's a bit of a problem with vocabulary. The letter structure is perfect.
