Questions 37-40 refer to the letter and reply

Dear Mom,
How are you? How is Michael? I hope that he has stopped sneezing and coughing.
I am doing really great. I am really enjoying my tour of the museums of Europe. I have been to
the Louvre in Paris. It was really exciting seeing the real Mona Lisa, but I was
disappointed because it was so small. Right now I am in Spain. I have visited Madrid, and now
I am in Barcelona. There are so many museums to visit that I don't know where to begin!
The admission fees are much more expensive than I expected, so I can't see everything that I
wanted to see. Some days I have to choose between having lunch or going to a museum!
However, the museums in Spain are not as expensive as the museums in France. I want to go
to Italy next. I hear that Florence has the best art of any city in Europe.
Next time I will call you —if I have money. (Maybe Sunday June 201h at 6 p.m.?)
With love,
Sally

The Manager
Audios Etc.
Head Office London
Dear Sirs,
I recently bought a programmable CD player at the Hartley branch of Audios Etc. Your
company was recommended to me by several of my acquaintances. Therefore, although it was
the first time I had visited one of your stores, I was sure you were a trustworthy company.
When the CD player was delivered to my house, I found that the player was the wrong color. I
asked for black; however, the player that was delivered was red. I telephoned the Hartley
branch, and a very friendly clerk arranged for it to be changed. This time the programming
function did not work. Again, the store changed it. Yet again there was a problem. There was a
big scratch on the paintwork. I had been led to believe that Audios Etc. was a reliable
company. This experience has proven the opposite to be true. I would therefore like to
formally register my dissatisfaction and demand a refund. Please find enclosed a completed
customer complaint form.
Yours faithfully,
Matt Greer
