Complaint Dear Sir I am writing to complain about the holiday apartment I rented from you on 15th of August. I believe your advertisement was misleading in a number of ways. Firstly, the apartment was by no means spacious. The rooms were cramped and there was very little storage space. Also, the distance from the beach was ten times farther than you claimed. Furthermore, the balcony railing was broken. This was quite dangerous and could have caused an accident

18th February, 2015 Dear Ms Lake, I am writing to you regarding the advertisement in “Yes! Student magazine”. I would like to apply for the position of Activities Organiser. I am an 18-year-old student from Tallinn, Estonia. This year I am finishing the high school and I am planning to go to Ireland for my university studies.

She also loves listening to rock music, which is what we bonded over. Also, she is a great artist if she has the time and patience. Her over analyzing makes her a slow drawer. I love Kati with all my heart. She is the best friend anyone could ever have. Whenever I need her I can call her and she's there for me. Although she might want to portrait a pessimistic person, all her advice is always very positive. I know she will be a great teacher one day. 4.

The show is about two brothers who drive around the continental USA. They hunt supernatural

3 Liivalaia Street Tallinn BN67 Estonia October 17, 2011 Mr T.Hunt IT-Programmer 65 Tormic Street London United Kingdom Dear Mr Hunt I am writing to apply for the position of IT-Programmer with your company. I saw your advertisement in web-portal JobsInt and I would like to be considered for the job. I believe I am suitable for this post as I already have experience working with programming.

Moreover, there are no students who have both breakfast and school lunch, eat more than four slices of brown bread per day, and avoid fat. The debate about the best way to generate electricity is back on the agenda. The most common methods are by burning coal, building dams, or using nuclear power. However, many people think that nuclear power is dangerous, and when you consider the experience of Chernobyl in the Ukraine over 20 years ago, you can see why. Countries such as France, however, get about 80% of their electricity from nuclear power plants, and the pro-nuclear scientists argue that it is actually much clearer than burning fossil fuels, which contributes to global warming. Others argue that it is better to get electricity from sustainable resources, such as the wind, the sea, and the sun. Although this

There were several aspects that I was sincerely dissatisfied with, and I hope that in the nearest future you will take steps to eliminate these faults.

However, when I started to look for another gate or entrance,
received the figure, it was already broken. In fact, the wooden stand was cracked not only one but from many places. In your advert you also claim that the product will be delivered within 10 days, but it took 3 weeks until I got it. I had to buy another gift for my friend. I am really sad, because that china figure would have matched perfectly with the theme of my friend's new room. I would like you to refund my money as soon as possible. Unless I receive a satisfactory reply within the next three weeks, I will have to take further action. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Lisanna Mark

Chapter 21 Chapter 42 Chapter 1 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it." Mr. Bennet made no answer. "Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it." This was invitation enough. "Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs

Dear Madam or Sir I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the service of your company. My complaints concern holidays on Tenerife. To start with, your travel agent assured me that I would stay in a luxurious hotel situated not far from the Golden Beach. I was also promised a spacious room with a terrace and windows overlooking the ocean. However, the hotel turned out to be small and old and it was situated close to a very busy street, furthermore, very far from the ocean. It took 40 minutes to walk to the beach. Moreover, there was a balcony instead of a terrace in my room. In addition, the staff of the hotel neglected their duties. I had to ask three times for new bed linen and when I asked for a wake-up call at 6 o'clock, I was woken up at 9 o'clock. When I complained about it, a receptionist treated me very rudely. Secondly, the choice of food served at the hotel restaurant was very limited. There were hardly any traditional Spanish dishes, although your travel a
