Dear Manager, I am writing
this
to raise a concern about the defective Tea Cup Set which I recently bought from your
shop
.
Last
Monday, I visited your
shop
namely "Wuhan China Wholesale stores" and found a beautiful cup set with lavender flower design. When I asked the salesperson to pack that, he got a new box from inside and packed the same because that was a sample and display piece . After reaching home, I opened the package with excitement but was shocked after seeing the broken cups and they were inappropriate to use.
Moreover
, the design is different from the showpiece.
Hence
, please find attached a screenshot for your reference. The next day, I went to the
shop
and conveyed the same to the staff showed the broken cups and requested for exchange. But, they did not at all care about my words and in reverse blamed me for the cause.
Moreover
, one of the staff members shouted at me.
This
kind of behaviour will definitely impact your sales. In conclusion, I regret buying
this
item from your
shop
. As compensation, I am requesting you to pay back my full amount. Please consider
this
request as a priority and respond to me at possible. Yours faithfully, Nancy

  • 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)
