Dear CEO,

I am Sales Manager at Worlducation; I’m writing this email to let you know that there were many
complaints on the product regarding the graphical display the learning process and false adverts
about software. I’m afraid as our company loses the reputation and customer satisfaction.

For this we will not engage in unfriendly transactions and answer the customers’ queries within 1
working day. Training the employees to understand the working of the software and it importance.
Following the company policies and standards such as responding to the email within 1 working day,
answering the phone call in 1 ring for mind-blowing customer service experience.

Training the staff is necessary for the improvement of the company. I will try to implement best
customer service in the company and help the customer service staff to do their best.

Thanking you sir,
