A letter of complaint
Dear Ms Smith,
I am writing to complain about a Big Fizz Soft Drink Fountain
I purchased for $79.95 from your Market City store on 26 November.
When I returned home and unpacked the Big Fizz Soft
Drink Fountain I found that the main storage tank leaked and the appliance did
not work properly.
I believe that it is within my rights to request a
refund for a faulty product and I would like to return the appliance to your
Market City store for a full refund of the purchase price. Please contact me
within the next two weeks to arrange a convenient time for me to return the appliance
and collect my refund.
I am enclosing a copy of my receipt for your
information. I can be contacted on the phone (01) 9876 5432. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Bill Citizen
