Dear Sir or Madam, The purpose of my writing today is to let you know about a product which I bought
last
week, using your online services. I bought a white
dress
on 28th August from Amazon's basics department and it was discounted by 30%. Your website made it easy for me to find what my needs are without having to go through hundreds of items like other companies do with their search bar results. When I received the item, it said that
this
dress
should be in white colour with pockets in it. But when mine came in black colour and not even pockets attached to the
dress
. I ordered
this
dress
to wear for an international conference which will be held next week. To resolve
this
issue, please send me a white colour
dress
with pockets before the end of
this
week. So we can fix things up together without any hassle on both sides. I am a regular and happy customer of Amazon's online services. So I am looking for a resolution as soon as possible to keep my faith in your services. Yours faithfully, Sanduni
