this
letter to inform you of a problem I experienced while visiting your store
last
week on Saturday.
Last
Saturday, while I was back from my office, I stopped by your store to purchase a smartphone manufactured by Samsung. Since I was told it had an original battery, I had no hesitations in purchasing it. Unfortunately, the smartphone is overheating while driving and shuts down without prior warning. Considering your store to be one of the leading stores that sell gadgets in our neighbourhood, I am quite upset by the lack of service when I telephoned your customer service to repair the mobile phone. I am repeatedly being told by your employee that it was an authentic device which was sold to me.
As a result
of
this
, I have left a negative review on your website and I would
also
request either a refund for the purchase or a replacement with a new smartphone. Please let me know if
this
would be convenient for you. Thank you for your understanding. Yours sincerely, John Hudson
