You booked a holiday with a travel agency but the tour did not live up to your expectations.Write a letter to the agency.In your letter,you:

?Describe the problem

?Explain what you expected on your holiday

?Explain what you want the travel agency to do

Dear Sir or Madam,

I wish to complain about the service provided by one of your travel operators,Jenny Chang.I contracted with her for a holiday I booked in Sydney for a total cost of`＄2,000,but later discovered the tour fell below an acceptable standard.

On February13,2006,I talked to Mrs.Jenny Chang and reminded her of some special requirements I had, including a double room in a four-star hotel,ten main places of interest and so forth.Your tour operator confirmed that these would be surely arranged.Unfortunately,these requirements were not met.The four-star hotel was in fact a three-star hotel,and the room service was below the average.The so-called double room was cramped and caused me considerable discomfort.The guide took us to six places of interest(instead of tem,as set out in contract)and some famous tourism sites were not on our itinerary.Since you undertook to book a holiday in accordance with my requirements and your tour operator assured me that all my requirements would be met,I must hold you responsible for my disappointment.

Please let me know how you propose to settle this matter.

Yours sincerely…

You want to sell some of your furniture.You think a friend of yours might like to buy it from you.Write a letter to your friend.In your letter:

?Explain why you are selling

?Describe the furniture

?Suggest a date when your friend can come and see the furniture

Dear Jan,

As you know,we’ll be moving to a new house soon and there are a few things that I won’t be able to take with me. The new house is a bit smaller so I have to sell some furniture and I was wondering if you might be interested.

In particular,I want to sell my big dinning table.Do you remember it—the one in the living room?It has wooden legs and a grey glass top and it’s big enough for six people.There are six matching chairs to go with it.

I know you’ve always liked this furniture so I could let you have it at a good price.I’d rather sell it to you than to a strange.

Why don’t you come around and take another look at them on Saturday?We’ll be here all day,so maybe we could have some lunch together.

Give me a ring and let me know,

Love,

Shanda

格式：

称呼一律采用齐头写法

中间段落如采用缩进式，落款要写在右下角；如采用齐头式，落款也应该为齐头式

称呼写法：称呼后加逗号

如果收信人为一个企业、团体或者机构，不知道收信人的名字和性别，一般用Dear Sir or Madam或To whom it may concern；也可以使用Dear加收件人头衔：Dear Professor/Manager/Editor

正文写作：正文包含三部分内容，即开篇、主体段落及结尾

开篇—介绍主题并说明写作目的

我给您写信是希望您能够针对即将到来的考试给我一些建议

这封信是关于一件令我很不高兴的事情，并且希望您能够将这件事及我的意见刊登在贵报上。

主体段落—清晰地、有逻辑地交代主要信息并展开论述（参考题目的三点信息对情节进行合理的联想），要有合理的分段，每段关注一个具体问题，段落之间要注意连贯与衔接。

按照信件功能的不同，信件所使用的语气和用词也不一样。一般来说，除了投诉信可以使用比较强烈的语气外，其他信件最好采用比较礼貌和客气地语气。

此外，收信人和你的关系也需要考虑在内。如果和收信人比较熟悉，那么正式的语言就不是非常合适；对比而言，如果和收信人不是很熟悉，那么用正式的语言则比较恰当。

结尾段—要使读信人非常清楚你所表达的态度。内容应该是积极并且明确的。

信末礼貌语和署名：

信末礼貌语通常使用yours sincerely,yours faithfully,yours truly

如果写给很好的朋友，一般使用yours,with best wishes,lots of love等

举例1：

You have bought a camera in a Duty-Free store of an airport.On reaching home,you discovered some problems with it.Write a letter to the airport authority to:

?Explain the situation

?Talk about your feeling

?Express what you want to do

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the camera that I bought last week in your airport Duty-Free store.

As I reaching home,I tried to take some photos with the new machine and it worked very well.However,after a few second it powered off.I thought it might be automatic switching off,but I cannot start it up again.I tried many many times but it did not work.

The sign in that store says that goods with any problems can be replaced within14days.Unfortunately,I cannot go back to your country in such short time.I feel very unhappy with the quality of the camera,and I have to say that my right has been aggressed.

Personally,I want to return this camera and request the store to replace it with a good one for me and pay for all posting fees.If I cannot get a satisfactory response soon,I have to claim a refund that I paid for the camera.

Yours sincerely

Mary

举例2：

You were hurt in a minor accident inside a supermarket,and you wish to complain to the supermarket.Write a letter to the manager of the supermarket.In your letter:

?Say who you are

?Give details about the accident

?Suggest how the supermarket could prevent similar accidents

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to inform you of the accident I had at3:45pm yesterday.

I was pushing my shopping cart down the aisle by the frozen meats when I slipped on the wet floor and broke the

scaphoid bone in my right wrist as I tried to stop my fall.Your staff were very helpful,and your assistant manager drove me to St.Martin’s Hospital,where my arm was put in a cast that will stay on for about six weeks.

I am a self-employed canteen owner,and will not be able to work for at least two months.My insurance will only cover my medical costs,not my lost earnings,which,as you can see from the attached photocopies,average450 pounds a week.Given that the accident was due to the dangerous condition of the floor,I trust you will arrange for me to be compensated with an amount equal to my average weekly earnings for the time that I am unable to work.

May I suggest that you instruct your staff to pay better attention to safety,and have a sign that clearly warns customers of such dangers as a slippery floor.

Yours sincerely

John Smith
