You have just received a credit card statement from your bank. The statement lists a number of expensive purchases that you are sure you did not make. Write a letter to the bank manager. In the letter: • Introduce yourself. • Explain that you did not buy the items listed. • Say what you would like the bank to do to fix the problem.

Dear Sir, My name is Fahad and I have a current
account
at your Bank.
This
account
was initiated by my current employer as a payroll
account
and I
also
have a credit card directly linked to
this
account
. I have been a customer of your bank for the past 7 years and my experience with your services has been sublime for the most part.
However
, I recently received the monthly statement from your bank for my current
account
in the post and discovered that there were some items enlisted in the purchases section which were unaccounted for. In fact, I do not recall ever having made those purchases.
This
came as a surprise to me as I have never faced
such
an issue with
this
account
before. I would
also
like to mention that the credit card has been strictly in my possession and was never misplaced or unattended. I write
this
letter, requesting that you have a thorough look into
this
matter. It will be most optimum that these charges are omitted. It would
also
ease my mind to know the root cause of
this
problem so I urge you to conduct an in-depth investigation. I will look forward to hearing back from you on
this
matter. Yours faithfully, Fahad

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional

  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
