Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing
this
letter to express my disappointment regarding the washing
machine
which I purchased from your shop. Let me explain, I bought a brand-new washing
machine
from your shop
last
week. It worked properly in the beginning when installed but after two or three washes, it started making a weird noise
while
rinsing the clothes. I didn't understand the issue and made a call to your shop to enquire about the solution but a man responded in a very rude way and didn't provide a satisfactory response. I am very disappointed with the behaviour of your salesman. As the
machine
comes with a two-year warranty, I request you to consider the issue. Either send a mechanic to fix the problem or replace the
machine
.
In addition
, I want an apology from your salesman for the rude behaviour and inconvenience caused to me. I thank you in anticipation and look forward to a positive response. Yours Faithfully, ABC

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
