Dear Lucinda; :
I am writing to complain about the poor service I received at your store.
On August 25, 2009, I bought purchased a floor lamp in your store. Unfortunately, I wasn’t was not able to use it because it did not work properly. Every time I switched it on, it switched off by itself after about 30 minutes. I took the lamp back to the store but the salesgirl refused to give me my money back. I had a telephone conversation with you about it and you confirmed that your store’s policy is to exchange faulty merchandise rather than refund the money. Unfortunately, the lamp that I want `is no longer available at your store. Given these circumstances, I would like to request that you if you could refund my money.
I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
