You have bought a new laptop computer and in a few days of purchase discovered a major flaw. Write a letter to the company. In your letter – introduce yourself – explain the situation – say what action you would like to company to take.

Dear Sir/Madam My name is Amarjot Kaur and I am writing to complain about a brand-new HP
laptop
I purchased
last
month. I am an international student in May intake and I got an HP Intel core with an I5
processor
in the
last
week. It was recommended by one of my friends who is in the same course and has been using
this
laptop
for 2 years. The
laptop
worked fine for two days but when I downloaded Articulate 360 the window crashed and stopped working.
This
is an important software for my study and I got an i5
processor
because of its speed, power, and excellent support to Articulate storyline 360.
However
, it seems like I need a more powerful
processor
for that. I would appreciate you replacing
this
laptop
with a new i7
processor
in exchange. I am ready to pay the extra expenses for the same. Thank you for understanding the situation and attention to
this
matter. Hope to hear you back soon. Thank you Amarjot Kaur
