Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing
this
letter to the shop's manager about the problems related to the kitchen equipment purchased. My name is Ramanpreet, and I bought a brand-new
Microwave
from your shop 3 weeks ago. Its order number is 704563 but, it is not working properly. The Door of the
Microwave
is not closing and that might be because of
while
transportation something has happened to it.
Besides
, its touchpad is not working, and I have unplugged the
Microwave
5 times and reset the control board but still facing the same issue. I described the whole issue to one of your employees through phone conversations. He assured me that in just 2 days he would send someone to repair it. But unfortunately, two weeks have passed, and they have not provided me with any assistance. I never expected
this
kind of service from a reputed shop of yours. I request you to look
after
this
matter by yourself and make some amendments to it.
Firstly
, please send someone to repair it at its earliest.
Secondly
,if still it is not working, replace it with the new
Microwave
or
otherwise
, I want to have a full refund of it. If you need any
further
information about it, you can contact me anytime. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Yours faithfully, Ramanpreet

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.
