The Editor, Sir:

The members of my family and I were in total disbelief when we read The Sunday Gleaner dated June 3, 2007, and saw a photograph of our private property advertised for sale under the caption 'Cottage for sale'.

The writer of the article, Paul Williams, did not check out the facts before he rushed to publish this story. How did he get on to our property to take that photograph? Did he try to verify the ownership of the house before he published this erroneous, highly sensational article. It is not a cottage.

Because we do not occupy the house does that mean that it is abandoned or has no owner? This property was left for us by our father and we have plans for it.

We are, etc.,

Owners of the property
