Hi Liz,
Your lessons are extremely helpful…I would really like to thank you from the very core core of my heart.
I, however have few doubts regarding the letter writing.Since I am not able to find any recent threads, I am writing it here. Hope you will help me.
I am really confused about what kind of opening clauses are suitable for which kind of letter, specifically in the complaint letters:
I am writing to report……
I am writing to complain….
I am writing with regards to…..
Please correct me if the following sentences are wrong:
I am writing to report the problems regarding the TV(Model:XXX) that I recently bought from your retail store.
I am writing regarding my suitcase that I lost last week while travelling in your XXX flight.
I am writing to complain about the problems with the Internet connections that we, the residents of Bay’s Street, are facing since last month.
Please do clarify my doubt mam.
Your complaint letter could start with any of the options given. Sorry I don’t correct English.
