You have bought a new laptop computer and in a few days of purchase discovered a major flaw. Write a letter to the company. In your letter
– introduce yourself

– say what action you would like to company to take.
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Chris Browne and I am writing you to express my dissatisfaction with a laptop computer I bought in your store four days ago.
As soon as I turned on the computer, I realized that Windows operating system was not installed in it, the offer said it was included. In addition, I chose a gray laptop and the one I received black. Moreover, the default language of the laptop is and I haven’t been able to change it to my native language, which is English. To make matters worse, the memory specifications of this laptop are not the same as the ones that I read in your catalog.
I definitely need this situation to be solved as soon as possible. I made the decision to buy the laptop at your store, because of previous good recommendations some friends of mine gave me about your store. However, after this experience, I feel deceived.
I would like you send me the laptop I first chose at your store, including all the specifications shown in the offer. If I don’t get a quick response to my request, I a full refund of the payment I already made.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Browne
This is a good letter, all it need is a little more attention as there are certain language inaccuracies (see comments underlined in blue). Overall, this looks like a Band 7 letter.

Dear Teacher,
I am studying for the IELTS exam I will be taking on February 20th 2010, and a good friend of mine told me about this blog. He told me it would be a good idea to join your group.
This is the first time I have entered to this website, and being new here, I would like to know if there is a way to submit some exercises in this blog, and if it is possible for you to go over them and make comments. If it is in fact possible, could you please tell me how to do it? I will send some of my paperworks, I promise not to over send exercises.
Thank you in advance for all the help you could provide me. It is really a comfort to know that there are people who can help you prepare for this important exam.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Alejandra Silva.
