Dear sir, I am writing
this
letter to express disappointment regarding an item that I bought recently and I need my money back.
Last
Saturday, I ordered a Samsung TV, modal number 55L711U18 and the order number is 45678999HJKL. It was the latest model that I ordered to give a present to my husband. When I received it Monday morning, I was so excited to open it. But, the condition of the TV spoils my happiness because the screen is broken in the centre
due to
poor packing.
Secondly
, there was no remote control without it, how is it possible to power on. I request you to send my refund because I bought the same TV from another company and they gave me a twenty per cent discount as a first buyer. I have attached my receipt and order details which will help to figure out during refund. I hope to hear a prompt response from your side regarding
this
problem. Yours sincerely, Rohit Sharma
