Dear manager,

I’m one of your customer. The day before yesterday I bought a Kindle in your shop. Before I left, I do check it carefully and everything was all right. When I got home, therefore, I found a fault with it. The problem is what the “screen” doesn’t work at all. Probable it’s not your fault and so is mine. Anyhow, I can’t solve the problem in person.

You see, a Kindle is of great useful for me to learn English and I cannot wait for too long before this problem is solved. Hopefully you will deal with the Kindle without delay, when you accept my letter.

Hoping to hear of you in the earliest possible time!

Your sincerely,

Li Hua.
