Dear Ms Sampson,
I'm writing to complain about the lack of service at your head office.
I visited the office last Thursday, January 23, to pick up a copy of your
product catalogue and was very disappointed with the service I received.
Firstly, there was no one at the reception desk and I had to ring the bell to
get someone's attention.
Secondly, when I finally did get your receptionist's attention, he was very
rude! I was made to feel as if I was interrupting him. And his manner was
very casual, as if he didn't care at all.
Thirdly, when I requested a copy of your product catalogue, he said there
weren’t any left! When I asked when they would be available, he informed
me that he didn't know.
Finally, I still haven't received a copy of the catalogue I requested.
The lack of service I received at your office is unacceptable. I have been a
customer of yours for a long time now and expect to be treated with more
respect and courtesy.
I demand an explanation of this behaviour from the company as well as a
formal apology from the receptionist himself. Also, I would like a copy of the
catalogue mailed to me immediately. If you are serious about client relations
you will attend to this matter immediately.
Yours sincerely,
Roger Taylor
