I am writing about the quality of the

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 far 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 10 p.m and that there should be
someone to keep an eye on the motorbikes
of customers
I’m looking forward to hearing from you
