Model answer to Writing task
Subject: Promotional giveaway bags
Dear Ms Lawrence
I’m writing to express our dissatisfaction with your service. Your company failed to deliver our complete order on time.
We received delivery of 100 promotional giveaway bags on 17 November, three weeks later than scheduled. However, the order was for a total of 1,000 bags. I immediately called your customer services department and asked for the missing 900 bags to be delivered in time for our trade show on 19 November. I pointed out that, as it was your mistake, it was your responsibility to correct it. I was promised that the additional bags would be delivered in time for the show.
However, we did not receive this delivery until 25 November. The trade show was over by then. As a result, we lost the opportunity to make contact and communicate with important customers, which could have serious consequences for our business.
The paperwork for the order and the packing list that came with the 100 bags both specified 1,000 bags rather than 100. Your company failed to check that the order was complete and failed to respond to our request to correct the mistake. We therefore request that you refund our entire payment.
Yours sincerely
