Dear Mr Director,
I am writing about the quality of the services of your post office.
I am satisfied with some of your services However, there is still something that I am dissatisfied with
Firstly, the post office is closed too early.sometimes I need to make an emergent phone call after 9 and this service is not available.
Secondly, the prices for sending oversea mails are too expensive compared with other post offices in the district.
Finally, there is no one to look after the motorbikes of the customers Therefore, we are always nervous when leaving the motorbikes outside.
I would suggest that the post office should open until 10p.m.and there should be someone to keep an eye on the
customers’motorbikes.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you Yours sincerely,
(signature)
