With the service to draw your attention

look forward to hearing from you

Dear Sir My husband and I have recently returned from one of your Golden Group holidays in Tunisia.

We chose this holiday in preference to many others as we were assured both in the brochure and by your agency staff that this particular package catered for retired couples like ourselves.

We understood that our specially organized activities would be run by mature friendly hostesses. ________________1at our destination we were met by a very youthful rep who very curtly told us that we were only two other people on the Golden Group package and that, ________________2, we could join in the activities organized for other groups or fend for ourselves. Since our tastes do not include hard rock or late-night pub crawls we asked to be moved to another hotel. We were told that if we did this it would have to be ________________3. As a result we decided to stay where we were and ___________________4.

Now that we have returned home we feel obliged _________________5to our deep dissatisfaction ________________6 we received. Not only were we deceived by the information in your brochure but we were not properly treated by your staff in the resort.

We hope that this matter will be rectified to our satisfaction in the near future and ___________________7 shortly.

Yours faithfully

Katherine Hopper

Exercise 6. The following extracts are from two different letters, a letter making a complaint and a letter of reply, but they have got mixed up. Put them in the right order.

Letter of complaint Letter of reply

1) When one of my guests arrived the waiter sat her at the wrong table. Later the same waiter split a few drops of red wine on another guest’s trousers. The final embarrassment was when the waiter presented the bill to one of my guests instead of me.

2) As a token of our regret I enclose a voucher for an evening meal for 2 people and hope to welcome you personally in the near future.

3) I am writing to complain about the service I recently received in your restaurant.

4) Yours sincerely

Pierre Lancel

Restaurant Manager

5) Yours faithfully

Raymond Strang

Sales Manager

6) Dear Sir/Madam

7) I had invited 4 clients to join me for lunch in your restaurant, where I had expected to receive the best service. Unfortunately, I have a number of complaints.

8) I am afraid that we were experiencing staffing problems during this period and had an inexperienced waiter working in the restaurant. He has since left and we are happy to say that we now have only fully qualified waiters

9) I feel that this is not the professional service which I expect from a top restaurant and I know that you will wish to ensure that it does not happen again.

10) Dear Mr Strang

11) I was very sorry to hear about the problems you experienced in our restaurant on your recent visit.
