Italian clothier Benetton will write letters of apology and donate money to a victims-compensation fund in a settlement with Missouri over an ad campaign that featured death-row inmates.

Benetton also will donate $50,000 to the Missouri Crime Victims Compensation Fund and immediately stop using the four Missouri inmates on the company’s Web site.
