Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing
this
letter to report the faulty camera
in my recent purchase from your company
.
I am Sandhya Thapa Magar from London, Ontario, Canada. I have been purchasing the gadgets from your company
for the last
five years.
Last
week on July 21st which was Tuesday, I made the purchase of a camera
from your company
. I assumed it was a new model camera
from the brand Sony with the code 432G123H. On the same day, as I got home and tried to take a picture of my dog. Unfortunately, the quality of the picture which was promised to be great turned out to be on the blurry side. That wasn't the only problem. The click button on the top side of the camera
for the picture seemed not functioning properly.
On Tuesday night, I immediately called customer service and explained the issues with the camera
. The staff suggested I return the camera
back to the company
. In return, they will either replaced
with new ones or fixed within three days. Add a missing verb
be replaced
However
, there has been no contact back since then
.
I would appreciate it if you could either replace the camera
with a new one or repaired
the existing one within one day.
I hope to hear back from you immediately.
Yours sincerely
