Dear Sir or Madam,
Answer –
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the functioning of a microwave I purchased last Sunday and, more importantly, with one of your staff members’ behaviour, as my request fell on deaf ears.
One of the issues I am facing is that the food does not heat, no matter how long I keep it in the microwave. Additionally, the touchpad is not working satisfactorily. Sometimes, I have to press a button several times before it responds, and frankly, it is quite frustrating.
When I called your shop 2 days ago, I was left disappointed by the experience because firstly, I had to wait for 20 odd minutes before someone answered my call, and when a staff member of yours did attend it and I told her my problem, she was extremely rude and even started the blame game. After that, when I told her about the bill and guarantee, she said she would send someone to fix it, but I have not heard from anyone until now.
I recommend that you teach your staff how to deal with customers politely and warn the lady in question sternly. Moreover, I would appreciate it if you sent a technician to solve the issues or replace my product with a new one.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Michael Jackson
