Trang 5Suggested key
Dear Sir, I have been using the services
provided by Thanh Ba Post Office for years and I
am writing in respond to your call for customers
to express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction
Like many other customers, I find your Post
Office a well-equipped and reliable address for
our needs in communication I am really
impressed by your spacious place for transaction
The seats in the lobby are pretty and always
clean The nine
telephone boxes are always available so
customers don’t have to wait to make their calls
More interestingly, I appreciate your ideas of
offering envelopes free of charge The cost of an
envelope can be small but your care for
customers is surely not I also have my belief in
your service quality The fax machines are
always in good condition and my colleagues in
Pair work
Group work
Some Sts go to the board to
Trang 6the provinces have never complained about the
quality of the documents I sent them
However, there are some minor drawbacks that
need mentioning here Although the parking area
is large, it has no security guards and I sometimes
feel insecure leaving my motorbike there And I
think it would be much better if the Post Office is
open until 11 pm so that customers can have
more access to your services And I think you
also need to pay attention to the attitude of some
of your staff who sometimes seem a bit cold and
not very helpful
I know that making everyone satisfied is hard
work and sometimes seems impossible What
you and your staff have done so far for the
development of the Post Office is encouraging
and this letter is written in the hope that your post
office will become better and better in future
Yours sincerely,
Nguyen Phu
