Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm Minh, a member of the ACB group, and I'm writing to express my displeasure with the disgusting meals and desserts offered to us last Sunday I'm hoping you'll keep up your food quality and look into the incident that wrecked our evening

On the 18th of July, about 7:00 p.m I went to your restaurant with my partners to transact business It was supposed to be a successful night because we were talking in my favourite restaurants But we have had a frustrating experience

Our main meal was lamb steak, spuds, and toasted sandwiches, however the beef was salty, uncooked, and hard Furthermore, our sandwiches were delivered cold! We protested to the waitress about our food, but she ignored us and ordered us to speak to the management Despite the fact that marshmallow and strawberry toppings were listed on the menu, our ice cream arrived without them This was utterly annoying

I expect a complete refund of the money I spent for the lunch, as well

as your commitment to improving the professionalism and politeness of your employees Consider me a lost customer if you don't respond

I look forward to your immediate response regarding this

Yours faithfully,

Minh

II Request 2

People belive that individuals who make a lot of money are the most successful To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued whether monetary or social contributions should be used

to measure a person's success in society Although the former viewpoint may

be correct in some circumstances, I believe the latter is more logical for various reasons Whether money should be considered as the criteria to assess a person’s success in society

To begin with, there are many reasons why people believe that individuals who earn high incomes are the most successful It is an undeniable reality that persons with a high pay are more likely to work in large corporations or have decent positions This can be seen in the instance

of successful senior directors of huge corporations, who not only receive respect from their peers but also make hundreds of thousands of dollars per month Secondly, the majority of people feel that successful people are those who can afford a luxury lifestyle To put it another way, they can enjoy good living standards while purchasing outrageously expensive items like jewelry, clothing, and cosmetics

On the other hand, I am still convinced that people who contribute to the community are the most successful First, not all affluent people get their fortune legitimately because they may engage in illegal activities such as heroin trading and money laundering to make a profit As a result, despite their wealth, these cases cannot be deemed successful To be more specific, being a scientist or a teacher is not easy, and people must devote a significant amount of time and effort to acquire knowledge in order to meet the standards of such high-level positions As a result, they will be respected

by others and regarded as the most successful in society

In conclusion, being rich can be considered to be successful, however, I hold a firm belief that people who contribute to society are the most successful ones
