Dear _ ,


Sample Answer:

Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your poor customer service. On 2nd November, I bought an air conditioner from your outlet. Unfortunately, it has been as dead as a doornail on the very second day I purchased it. As a result, I called up your maintenance department to check the appliance. But what a regret is that no one is sent despite several calls. On the top of that, your staffs are very rude and bereft of professional attitudes. This is not what I would expect from a reputed company like yours.

I believe this is not the way that a professional company wishes to conduct business with valued customer as I have been with you since seven years and have never encountered such terrible treatment before. I urge you to take proper action against your staff and ensure prompt customer service to prevent similar situation from recurring.

I look forward to hearing you by return.

Yours sincerely,
Alllan M Lees.
