Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing in the hope that you can help me with a problem regarding a
camera

camera
from the 'Heinemann

store at Frankfurt Airport on my way from Moscow to Toronto. The
camera
cost $799 and I paid for it on my Visa credit card. When I arrived at my hotel in Toronto almost 24 hours later I discovered, to my horror, that the box which contained the
camera
did not include the battery charger. The space in the box for the charger was empty. I am now in Toronto and I am not returning to Frankfurt, so I need to get the missing parts here. As you are the representative of the company in
this
country I would be grateful if you could arrange for the parts to be sent to me. I attach a copy of the receipt with
this
letter for your information. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Ulrich Nielsen
