COMPLAINTs

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain of the poor service I received at your hotel on July 5, 2014

I stayed at your hotel on that day The weather unexpectedly turned bad with strong wind and heavy rain The roof of my room was leaking rain water, and the heater was not working well I reported the problem to your customer service officers at the front desk, but they just came, looked at the heater and the roof and said, “We’ll be working on them” In fact, nothing was done at all Then I asked them to change my room, but unfortunately there were no available rooms

at that time With two days and one night in very poor conditions, I soon got sick Returning home, I had to ask my boss for two more days off and missed one important meeting

I would suggest that you pay more attention to your service center and take better care of your customers to make sure that the same problem will not

happen again

Next time, I will not choose to stay at your hotel and tell my family and friends about my bad experience at your hotel if I see no improvement in your service

I look forward to hearing from you!

Dear Ms Linda,

I am Ramesh, tenant of one of your properties in William Street, Norwood My flat number is 17 I am writing this to bring my dissatisfaction on some of the household stuff that you have provided as part of our rental agreement.

In the living room, the sofa is in pathetic condition The colour of the cushion cloths is totally faded out and they are stinking too The coffee table is

disjointed Some of the buttons of the remote controller for the television are not functioning In the kitchen, the refrigerator is not maintaining temperature accurately and I found it futile Grocery cupboard door locks are missing Overall, some of the furniture you have provided is in faulty condition.

I request you to look into this matter seriously I recommend you to arrange for repair and maintenance of the living room furniture and replace the fridge New keys for the cupboard can be prepared by a locksmith I expect your action on this as soon as possible, as these problems affecting my daily routine.

Yours’ Sincerely,

Ramesh.

Sample Answer 2:

Dear Ms Saradha,

I am your new tenant of the flat number 106, Priya Hope you are doing great I

am writing in connection with the bad condition of the furniture in my

apartment.

As you already know, the legs of the dining table are unequal in length So this

is causing lots of problems for me Miserably, my mom could not place all the prepared dishes on the table since there is always a probability of the recipes being spilt While I signed the contract of my accommodation, you assured me that it would be replaced soon In spite of staying here for more than two

months, it has not been remedied Imagine how awful it would be, because of this reason, we are not enjoying our lunch and dinner!

It would be highly appreciated if you could kindly find a replacement for this furniture soon and make our stay comfortable.

Looking forward to hearing your swift solution.

Yours sincerely,

Priya

You are not happy with the course you are doing at college and would like

to change to a different course Write a letter to the college director

requesting to change your course You should include details about:

– what course are you doing now

– why you are not satisfied with that course

– what course would you like to change to

Dear Mr Hodgkins,

I am currently enrolled in an Italian cooking class at St James and am writing regarding some difficulties I have had doing this subject for the past two weeks

I would like to know if it is possible to change my course

I believe that the last day allowed for students to make any changes was

Wednesday 5th June but, in my situation, the circumstance is uncompromising The fact is that, during the enrolment session, no one mentioned that I needed to

be literate in Italian, which I’m not Therefore, you will comprehend that for me, getting an understanding of what the teacher is saying is beyond

comprehensible

Thus, I am requesting that my current enrollment be transferred from the Italian course to the French cooking class As unlike in Italian, I am fluent in French

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to you and the staff and look forward to hearing from you

Yours sincerely,

Sandrine Mo

You successfully passed a job interview You are expected to start on

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Leonardo Gomes and I have recently passed a job interview for the

Software Engineer position at the Software Infrastructure group I was expected

to start on November 15, as agreed, and am writing because, unfortunately, I will not be able to present myself on that date

During the interview I estimated fifteen days as the amount of time needed for

me to finish my activities at my current job and start at your company, but due

to fact that I got sick for the last whole week and was not able to work, I could not finish my tasks and will need another week to do so If necessary, I can give you a copy of a letter from my doctor informing that I had to stay at home and under medical care during that week

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope this will not affect our relationship If I am expected to present any other form of proof or talk to

someone else in the company, please let me know

Faithfully yours,

Leonardo

Dear Ajay and Sunita,

Thanks so much for your kind letter and the lovely photos of my holiday in Mumbai Sorry for the delay in acknowledging your mail, but your package arrived just as I was about to leave town on a business trip I've just returned to Toronto today.

Looking at the photos brings back so many happy memories of the times we spent together and the wonderful hospitality you extended to me I felt

completely pampered by both of you! You surrounded me with warm friends, good food, amazing sights, great shopping, unforgettable cultural events and

laughter-filled evenings I would have been lost without you I can't thank you enough.

These good memories gave me an idea I know you've always wanted to visit Canada Why don't you plan a holiday and stay with me this summer? The weather is great at that time of year, all tourist sites are open and I could take two weeks off from work Aside from seeing Toronto, we could drive to Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City I would be thrilled

if you could make it.

Thank you both again for the beautiful holiday and the photos which are

already up on my wall Now, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm wishes,

Carol

Write at least 150 words.

Dear Eva,

How are you? I hope you've been well Sorry for having been out of touch for a short while There have been some changes in my life and I wanted to let you know the latest from my side.

The big news is that I have finally changed my job! Do you remember when you were here on holiday, I always talked about how I hated my boring bank job? Well, it was clear I needed a change So, finally, I took a part-time TESL course and trained to be an ESL teacher Now I'm working full-time in a private

language school I teach General English, Business English and IELTS Each day, I look forward to going to work My students come from all over the world and I love teaching them as well as learning from them.

Aside from that, I also moved to a new apartment near the school where I work It's small, but downtown, so I am right in the heart of the city, instead of way out

in the suburbs Suddenly, there's so many fun things to do, in the evenings too I

am a much happier person today because of these recent changes.

So, how about you? I hope you'll have a chance to visit Canada again soon In the meantime, please write and let me know what's new with you.

Warm wishes
