Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter concerning an impersonating website that is targeting our client, National Geographic. This website is falsely claiming to be affiliated with National Geographic and is using their logo, images, and other copyrighted material without permission.

As the legal representative of National Geographic, we kindly request that you remove this website immediately as it is causing significant harm to our client's reputation and brand. We have provided evidence of the infringement in this email and are available to provide further evidence and information upon request.

This is a clear violation of National Geographic's intellectual property rights, and we request that you take immediate action to remove the website and prevent any further infringement. The impersonating domain is listed below:

We hope that you will take this matter seriously and act promptly to remove this website from the internet. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
