Dear Sir or Madam,

 

Yesterday I went to your clearance sale and made a purchase of a polka­dot dress. However, when I arrived home and opened the bag, I found a big stain right in the breast of the dress. But when I went back to the original department to make an exchange, to my surprise, the clerk told me that no refunds for sale goods.

 

I really don’t understand how this could happen: First, I went all the way from my home back to your store to try to settle this matter. Second, that item was clearly from your department. Third, I demanded a refund because that dress was out of stock. Finally, and most important, the mistake was not mine.

 

I am writing this letter to request that you make up for this mistake and to ensure such errors do not happen again. If I don’t get satisfaction on this, my next step will be to appeal to the Consumers’ Foundation for help.

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Yours sincerely,

Jane Wang
