You recently bought a piece of equipment for your kitchen but it did not work. You phoned the shop but no action was taken. Write a letter to the shop manager. In your letter ● describe the problem with the equipment ● explain what happened when you phoned the shop ● say what you would like the manager to do.
Dear Shop Manager,
I write
this
letter as I concerned about your product
. Please let me explain this
.
I bought an electric stove from your store 2 days ago. When I back to my home and tried to cook something, I realized that this
equipment was out of order due to
its usable dynamo.
When I found out some bad things about this
stove, I called your shop directly. However
, your customer service still didn't answer my call even though I called hundreds of times and sent direct messages to them. I was very dissatisfied owing to your service.
Besides
, I have paid your product
with the highest price. In my view, your product
is able to ensure its quality as I got it at the highest price. However
, I got wrong, and these bad things came to me.
Hopefully, you able to ensure your product
next time. Besides
, I want my money back due to
your guaranteed term. If it's impossible, you can give me your other product
with the highest quality and proper price. Thus
, I will not call the Police for these problems.
Sincerely,
Your CustomerSubmitted by patricius.yohanes on
