You recently had some items shipped to you from overseas. Upon receiving the shipment you found that some things were damaged in transit. Write a letter to the manager of the shipping company. In your letter - Provide the details of your shipment - Describe the damage - Say what action you want the company to take.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Hope
this
letter finds you well. My name is Yousra Ghoneim, and I am one of your regular clients in your reputable enterprise. I am writing this
letter to express my deepest dissatisfaction with the latest service that I had with your corporation a couple of days ago because I received my order which was completely damaged.
Let me share the whole issue with you. On 10th October I ordered a brand watch from Amazon Application. Not only did I pay around 5000 pounds to purchase it, but also
I waited two months until it became ready to ship. However
, I have recently a smashed watch.
Another thing I forgot to mention is which part was specifically broken. In fact, after I had opened the luxurious box, I discovered that the frontal transparent glass was immensely damaged, and my hand was hurt because of the small-sized and sharp particles. Moreover
, when I turned it on, it did not work and that means I will not be able to repair it.
One final point I would like to raise is that it is unacceptable to obtain my order in this
miserable status.
Although
I have always been your customer, this
was the first
time that I get broken possession. Therefore
, I am asking for full compensation, and I think it is warranted because my watch is expensive.
I am looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience, and I can be contacted at the email address or phone number provided above.
Faithfully,
Yousra GhoneimSubmitted by ericssonsony551 on

Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
