were six members of my company there for business work, and our room was specifically 245 East. The service that was provided to us was different from our expectations for a five-star hotel. I was totally surprised by that. Let me please explain what we faced there.
Firstly
, the AC was extremely hot and was not adjustable;
however
, we called the engineering department to fix it, but we suffered a lot
initially
till the problem was resolved.
Secondly
, the room was not luxurious or similar to what we booked through your website. It is at a level of three stars.
Finally
, there was no meeting room for companies or work-type missions. I would greatly appreciate it if you could raise my voice to your team members and manager to avoid
such
matters for other visitors.
Furthermore
, I would appreciate it if you could refund half of the hotel price for our stay as it was not ideal. I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me if you have inquiries regarding my bank account, address, or credit card details for the fund. Yours Sincerely Mohamed Ali

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
