Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to complain about the vacuum cleaner (Model #SE375) I ordered from your store two weeks ago. To begin with, the order was incomplete. Many of the special parts that come with the vacuum cleaner were missing. As a result, I was unable to clean the curtains and furniture as I did not have the correct equipment. To make matters worse, the vacuum cleaner is faulty. It does not pick up dust very well. In fact, the carpets still looked dirty after I had vacuumed them. I feel I am entitled to a full refund. I hope this matter will receive your immediate attention. Yours faithfully, Alice Petersen Alice Petersen Check your answers:
When we write a formal letter of complaint about a problem (e.g. something we have bought, the services in a restaurant or hotel, etc), we divide it into three parts: • in the introduction, we state the reason for writing, (i.e. say what I who we are complaining about and why). • in the main body,* we state our complaints and give examples and/or reasons to support them. We use a separate paragraph for each topic. • in the conclusion, we state what action we expect to be taken. *The main body can consist of one or more paragraphs, depending on the number of specific complaints we have. The tone of our letter must be polite and we should never be rude. Writing Tip
