Business Letter (Complain Letter)

 9 BUSINESS LETTERS AND MEMOS


Dear Sirs,


My recent order which arrived safely contained two items: one Red Pyjama, and one White Stripe Pyjama.


Our daughter is four and a half months old, weighs 7 kilos, and is 61 centimetres long. In other words, she is a fairly average size for her age. Given this, we were confident that the right size of pyjama for her would be the 70 cm, which you claim will last until the baby is some nine months old. To our great disappointment, the Red is a tight fit now, while the White stripe is comfortable fit now, and may last, say, one or two months.


Misleading labelling and predictions are unfortunate in any circumstances, but doubly so when the customer lives abroad. Apart from the trouble and cost of returning the things, the fact is that our daughter needs the garments that we ordered now, and we can thus hardly afford any delay. Could you please let me know whether it is your normal policy to overestimate the age and size for which particular garment is suitable? If this is so, then we can simply take it into account when we make orders in the future.


I would like to point out that we are generally happy with your goods. It is only the question of the size which we find extremely irritating.


Yours faithfully,


Robin Purde

This requires a deep understanding of the environment and a willingness to respect its limits. Snyder begins by defining the terms " wild " and " culture ." He argues that " wild " does not mean " untamed " or " uncivilised ," but rather " self-organizing ." A wild system is one that is able to maintain its own equilibrium (balance) without the intervention of humans. Culture, on the other hand, is a human-made system that is designed to meet our needs. Snyder then goes on to discuss the relationship between freedom and culture. He argues that our culture has become increasingly alienated from nature and that this has led to a loss of freedom. We have...

PROFESSIONS FOR WOMEN - Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

Summary : Virginia Adeline Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist and essayist, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. She was one of the leaders in the literary movement of modernism.  The speech of  Professions for Women  was given in 1931 to the Women’s Service League by Virginia Woolf. It was also included in  Death of a Moth  and  Other Essays  in 1942. Throughout the speech, Virginia Woolf brings forward a problem that is still relevant today:  gender inequality .   Woolf’s main point in this essay was to bring awareness to the phantoms (illusions) and obstacles women face in their jobs. Woolf argues that women must overcome special obstacles to become successful in their careers. She describes two hazards she thinks all women who aspire to professional life must overcome: their tendency to sacrifice their own interests to those of others and their reluctance (hesitancy) to challenge c...
