  • Ask for a refund or exchange on the item.

Model Answer:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I  am a regular customer of ‘Splash’ store. I am writing this letter to inform you that my recent shopping experience was not satisfactory at all.

I purchased a shirt from your shop last week. At first, I didn’t see any defect on the shirt’s exterior when I tried it in the store; but, when I reached home, I noticed brown stains on the interior of the shirt after closer examination. Then, I went back to the shop to ask for a replacement or refund; however, I was told by the assistant that the store has no such policy.

I would like to make a request for an exchange or a refund of the shirt since it was faulty before my purchase. I am asking for an exception this one time only as I am a loyal customer of the store.

In the meantime, please do let me know if you need any additional information.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

John Doe.
