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 or Madam, The purpose of my writing today is to lodge a complaint about the most recent purchase I made from your company . I'm a first-year university student living in Vancouver City.
Last
week, I purchased a Lenovo computer, model number x41256 from your store and it was around $1,500 after applying the student discount. It got delivered the next day to my doorstep with a $100 delivery charge. Let me explain the issue.
This
trouble started about two days ago when I first tried to download my university lecture documents from the website. After saving all the documents to the X drive, the computer system crashed with an irritating sound from the motherboard. I'm truly helpless at
this
moment since I have zero knowledge of technical skills.
Also
, I have a couple of assignments to complete before the end of
this
month. To resolve
this
issue, Could you please send a technical expert to my place? I live at 3345, Hudson Street. I'm available on weekends, until 5.00 pm in the evening. I highly appreciate your kind support in
this
matter. If you need additional information, please reach me at 604 552 55236. Yours faithfully, Amal
