Writing Practice： Letters of Complaint
Dear Sir
I am an oversea student who just moved here several months ago. Near my flat is a beautiful garden where two little dogs bark day and night. I can hardly put up with them, so I am writing to complain about the dogs and hope that the department concerned will look into this matter. I shall be grateful if you could deal with the matter as soon as possible.
My neighbor bought those two little dogs one month ago. To be honest, in the first few days, I was fond of them because they seemed to be quite lovely. However , recently, I have realized that they are really trouble makers, and bring me many inconveniences. First of all , they bark all day and night, affecting my rest and study seriously. Moreover , they are very dirty and litter everywhere in our garden, make it quite smelly and filthy. Worst of all , they are very violent and dangerous and often scare my girlfriend.
In order to keep our garden a quiet and beautiful place to live in, I suggest that department concerned take some effective measures . Firstly , the dog owner should be required to discipline their dogs and keep them quiet at night. Secondly , the dogs should not be allowed to litter the public area. If the dogs are caught littering in public, the dog owner should be fined and clean the dropping.
I hope that you could kindly consider my complaint and improve the present situation as soon as possible. Your prompt and favorable attention to my request would be highly appreciated . I’m looking forward to a clean and quiet environment.
Yours sincerely,
Dear Sir,
I’m a resident who just moved our community several months ago. I’ve found that our neighbor usually burn rubbish in our garden. I can hardly bear this, so I’m writing to complain about it and hope that the department concerned will look into this matter . I shall be grateful if you could deal with it as soon as possible.
My neighbor and I share the same garden. In the first few days after I moved in, they didn’t burn things frequently. However, recently, they began to burn leaves and grass. Even worse, they started to burn their waste in the public area. Worst of all, the burning makes thick smoke and gives off a stinky odor.
In order to keep our garden a clean and beautiful place to live in, I suggest the department concerned take some effective measures. Firstly , our neighbor should stop burning anything in the garden. Secondly , any waste of our neighbor should be cleaned from the garden and dropped into garbage bin. In addition , if our neighbor is caught burning again, he should be fined.
I hope that you could kindly consider my complaint and improve the present situation as soon as possible. Your prompt and favorable response to my request would be highly appreciated . I’m looking forward to a clean and comfortable environment.
Yours sincerely,
Dear Sir,
Sony CD player ME 120
On Jun 12, 2011 I bought the enclosed CD player from your department store for $120. I have attached a copy of the tax invoice for your information.
As you can see , I’ve just bought this CD player several days ago. It has been working well for last few days. But today after I turned it on to play my CD, at first it just made some noises. While after a few minutes it was totally out of order.
I’m pretty sure that I was careful to follow the instructions for use, honestly . I have long been a user of your products and up until now have always regarded you as an excellent organization. I have always found that your products to be authentic.
I shall be grateful if could send a replacement and refund my postage ($2).
I really appreciate your help.
Yours faithfully,
