ANALYSIS:

 

 The letter written on date 5 August by Jean-Claude Trichet and Mario Draghi is addressed to the Prime Minister and published on the "Corriere della Sera".The letter is divided into three parts followed by other smaller parts.The introduction explains the problems of our country and how the government should act.The firts paragraph is about the rules that should be followed for escape the italian debt.The second one deals whit the issue of pensions and how manage the salaries.The last part is about the public services and how improve them.The argument is very serious so the letter is written with a formal but also direct and stronglanguage.
