On arriving at the chalet we were surprised to discover that the property did not in any way conform to the descrip- tion you gave of it. The small rooms had only rudimentary furnishings. The plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom was very old and worked badly. | therefore feel that the rent of £ .... for the 3 weeks we spent in the chalet was completely unjustified | must ask you to contact the owner in order that. this unsatisfactory state of affairs may be remedied. We acknowledge receipt of your letter of .... expressing your dissatisfaction with your stay in the chalet at Carlis. We have contacted the owner and examined the condi- tion of the property. It appears that the chalet had been damaged during the preceding long let. We have therefore asked the owner to carry out the necessary improvements as soon as possible and must ask you to accept our apolo- gies for this unfortunate experience. We are prepared to offer a 20 % reduction on the rent for the-3 weeks or on a future booking as compensation for your inconvenience. | do hope that this offer will meet with your approval. COMPLAINT - MAIL ORDER PURCHASE | am writing to inform you that | am not completely satis- fied with the two Shetiand pullovers that you sent following my order of 29 March. I had specified russet for the color of the two articles. | received two beige pullovers. It would appear that there has been an error on your part and i would be obliged if you would supply replacements as soon as possible.lam returning the pullovers and would be obliged if you would reimburse the cost of postage.
