Suppose you have been cheated by an advertisement in a magazine; write a letter of about 100 words to the government officer complaining about the bad effort the ad brought to you.
Dear Gentlemen,
Enclosed is an ad which appeared in a magazine for a device which support to cure back problems.
Four months ago I mailed the money that ordered and soon received the device and instruction for its use. My mother followed these instructions to the letter. Not only did her back pain persist, but in soon began to worsen. After a month she stopped using the device and made an appointment with her doctor. “These devices are worthless,” he said, told the conpany of my experience, and asked for a refund. They didnt even respond.
I wrote to the company, and told them of my mothers great pain to learn my lesson. I would hope that you could do something to put a stop to these deceptive ads and the continuing exploitation of other backache sufferers.
Sincerely yours,
Frank Smith

Directions:
Suppose you met a rude salesperson in a supermarket. Write to the sales manager of the supermarket to show your complaints.
Dear Sales Manager,
This letter is a complaint concerning the actions of your salespersons. On Thursday, May 2, 2004, around 3 p.m., I went to your store to look for an outfit. When I asked an available salesperson, Ms. Maria Johnson, for help in finding my size, she informed me that she was busy and that I would have to find it myself. I explained that the reason I came to her was because I couldnt find it. She then said in a rude tone that if I couldnt find it, it means that the store did not have it, and that I needed to look somewhere else.
I felt that Ms. Johnson was rude and unnecessarily curt with me. If she could have simply and politely told me that she would be able to help me in moment. I hope that you will confront Ms. Johnson about her behavior. I shop frequently at your store and I look forward to a more pleasurable shopping experience next time.
Sincerely Yours,
Julia Taylor

Therefore I didnt come back until nine oclock in the evening. You must have been disappointed by my absence.
I hope you will not leave the city this week. I will call on you on Friday afternoon at four oclock. As this is the first time you come to Beijing, I will take you to some places of interest that may interest you if possible. Please wait for me in your hotel at the appointed time.
Truly yours,

Dear Mr.Wells,
Our family has shopped at your supermarket for several years. The quality of the food has been consistently good, the prices reasonable, and the staff friendly and helpful.
One of your employees is particularly outstanding, and I thought Id drop you a line and say a word on his behalf.
Freddy, who bags groceries and brings them out to the car, frequently goes out of his way to help. Yesterday he had finished loading my car and was heading back to the store. I tried to pull out but found myself stuck in the snow. When he heard my wheels spinning, Freddy came back and gave me a push. That certainly beat calling a tow truck!
Its nice to find someone these days whos willing to go that extra mile to please a customer. That young man will go far in life.
Truly yours,
Frank Smith
