Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you on behalf of the team at Business automotive corporation. You hosted our annual party
last
week on May 17th, 2023.
First of all, we would like to thank your staff for the effort they made maintaining a good atmosphere during the evening. You have a very motivated team with a strong sense of customer orientation.
However
, there are several issues we would like to bring to your attention regarding your overall
performance at our event.
Firstly
, the food served during the evening was not in accordance with the menu we had agreed on.
Moreover
, if you were not in the position to provide the dishes we had defined, you should have communicated the problem to us in advance. It was really uncomfortable to discover this
at the last
minute.
Secondly
, while
your staff demonstrated a great attitude, it appears that your employees were not sufficiently trained to cover such
a big event. The coordination of the different phases of the party has been far below our expectations.
In the future, we strongly recommend you assign more senior team members for such
complicated and busy events. If we can not get your commitment on that, I am afraid we might consider other catering suppliers for our 2024 needs. We are also
expecting some detailed feedback on the issues reported above.
Sincerely,
Nathan ConilSubmitted by nathan.conil on

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.
