Dear manager,
I'm writing to complain about your awful product “No spot” cream. In your advertisement, you claim that the cream has a range of special materials and is safe and effective, which can keep the spots out of the face.
The first time I applied it to my face, I followed the instruction carefully. To my surprise, the next morning, I felt my face tickling as if something were crawling. And during the following days, the more I used it, the worse the symptom became. And it was the cream that greatly affected my life and work. And I was aware of being cheated.
You have guaranteed that your products are safe and never have you mentioned the side effect. I want to send back this cream, meanwhile your company should pay for the cost of medical service for my treatment and look into the matter seriously. If not, I'm intended to accuse your company.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Your sincerely,
