Letter/email of complaint

Letter/email of complaint, this is a quite popular writing for the EOI. This is an example of formal writing. This is an example.

Dear Sir/ Madam,


(INTRODUCTION)
I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction at the disgraceful treatment I received at Wetsminster Electronics yesterday
afternoon.

(MAIN BODY)
Firstly, the product I was given was not the model I had asked for. The new X-401 calculator was demonstrated to me by the sales
assistant, and I agreed to buy it. However, on unpacking my purchase, I saw that I had been given the smaller X-201 model instead.
Furthermore, this calculator was much cheaper than the model I requested and paid for. It did not have many of the features I
needed and was much more basic than the one I was shown to begin with.
To make matters worse, I was deeply offended by the behaviour of the sales assistant when I went back to the shop to complain. He
was not only impolite, but also unhelpful. He refused to contact the manager when I asked to speak to him about the incident.

(CONCLUSION)
As you can imagine, I am extremely upset, I must insist on a full refund, in addition to a written apology from the local manager, or
else I shall be forced to take further action.

I expect to hear from you as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,
Janice Perth.
