You recently ordered an item of clothing through a store’s website. When you received it, you discovered that it was not the same item you had ordered. Write a letter to the store manager. In your letter, Describe the item you ordered Explain what was wrong with the item you received Say what you would like the manager to do.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my online purchase from your store's website. During the "New Year's sale" sale, deals advertised on your store's online portal were very affordable and value for money, so I purchased a pair of formal attire for the office which includes a formal
shirt
and pants with booking reference number 12345. It was a necessary purchase for me considering my upcoming performance appraisal meeting with my manager in the coming month.
Although
I ordered the
shirt
in medium size, I received a large size, which is very loose.
Additionally
, the
shirt
has a design pattern that makes it unsuitable for office wear.
Moreover
, the packaging of the received parcel was
also
disappointing. I would request you to initiate the return of the
shirt
and if possible, resend the same product as it advertised on your website,
otherwise
please initiate the refund for the
shirt
. Yours faithfully, Sandeep
