3提出解决方案Dear sir/madam,
I am one of your customers. I ordered a set of Bookworm Series on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t receive them yesterday. And much to my disappointment, the books were so poorly packed up that the cover of one book was torn. To make matters worse, it is not a complete set, as I found one book missing.
I am sorry to have received such poor service, and I believe I have every right to ask you to deal with this problem. I hope that you either return my money or deliver a new set of books to me. Besides, I’d like to be informed of the process of your dealing with my complaint.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
