When the floor wax that we bought from you arrived here Monday morning, we discovered upon usage that the fumes should have a warning. Since the only possibility is that the wax is rancid, I request a full refund of all the money we advanced. Unless you can convince me you've improved the floor wax batter, we will take our business elsewhere, so I hope you solve this matter. Enclosed you'll find a small container of the stuff I talk about. Just carefully remove the lid and take a whiff if you have a doubt. I'm sure you wouldn't want me to alert the daily papers with the news of how our office was affected by your vapors, which is why I choose to write to you a confidential letter full of strong recommendation that you make your floor wax better. I just hope it won't require us to have our floor relaid, and if it does, you may expect a bill.

Dear Mr. Hudson:

My eyes are fully open to my awful situation, so I'm writing you a letter to demand an explanation.  When the floor wax that we bought from you arrived here Monday morning, we discovered upon usage that the fumes should have a warning.  Since the only possibility is that the wax is rancid, I request a full refund of all the money we advanced.  Unless you can convince me you've improved the floor wax batter, we will take our business elsewhere, so I hope you solve this matter.

Enclosed you'll find a small container of the stuff I talk about.  Just carefully remove the lid and take a whiff if you have a doubt.  I'm sure you wouldn't want me to alert the daily papers with the news of how our office was affected by your vapors, which is why I choose to write to you a confidential letter full of strong recommendation that you make your floor wax better.  I just hope it won't require us to have our floor re­laid, and if it does, you may expect a bill.

Sincerely,

Dear Customer Service Representative: 

I recently purchased one of your Tiny Tents (Model # 47485) for my three­year­old. Unfortunately, after viewing the components that came with the product, I discovered that four of the parts were missing. Also, the instructions that came with the tent are incomplete. Both of these situations have resulted in the tent remaining unassembled and unacceptable as a toy for my daughter.

In order to encourage our customers to pay for their invoices before the due date, we have implemented a discount model where we will give you 2% off your invoice if you pay us within 10 days of receiving the invoice. 

I hope that everything is going well for you and your company. You are one of our biggest customers, and we appreciate your business. If you have any questions, you can feel free to contact me at (555) 555­5555.

Dear Mr. Kent: 

I am most appreciative of your offer of employment. It is unfortunate that your offer arrived when it did, as I have just accepted another position. Should my situation change, I will be in prompt contact with you. However, I believe the firm in which I have chosen to associate with holds great career promise. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mr. Kermit Frog1234 Muppet WayFantasyland, CA  90120

Dear Mr. Frog: 

Let me begin by expressing my thanks to you for bringing to my attention the actions of one of our sales representatives. We periodically monitor the calls of our telemarketers. This is to ensure the quality of our service and the courtesy extended to potential customers. 

I must apologize for Miss Piggy’s repeated callbacks to your home and her abusive language. In reviewing the recordings of Miss Piggy’s station, I have verified the statements attributed to her in your letter dated May 15th. She is no longer employed by April Fools, Inc., and I can assure we have taken every possible step to make sure this does not happen again. 

As our way of apologizing, I have authorized complimentary 12­month subscriptions in your name to our magazine Muppets Weekly. Additionally, should you wish to renew your subscription upon expiration you may do so at 50 percent off the current rate. 

Again, I apologize for Miss Piggy’s actions. If there is anything else I can do to rectify this situation, please let me know. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Elmo RedMr. Elmo Red
