【正确答案】Dear Mr. Robert,
[1]On Oct. 21st, I purchased a Vacuum Cleaner from your supermarket. Unfortunately, it completely failed my expectation.
[2]Disappointingly, the vacuum cleaner doesn't work efficiently to pick up dust. To make it worse, when I went back to your store, I was told that because the cleaner was on sale, I could not exchange or return it, which I was not informed when the purchase was conducted. [3]I request that you provide me with a prompt solution, on the condition that once the cleaner proves to be of poor quality, I can change for a new one or I will get a refund.
[4]I can be reached during the day at (806)3273551. Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
【答案解析】这是一篇投诉信件。投诉信件的写法一般是先直截了当地陈述要投诉的事情或物件,紧接着简明扼要地说明存在的问题,并提供解决方案,最后给出写信人的联系方式。信的措辞不卑不亢,即便投诉的内容令人不愉快,有礼貌地提出意见与解决方案即可,切勿让读者感到字里行间“怒气冲天”。 [1]开门见山说明购买吸尘器的时间与地点。以Unfortunately引出令人不愉快的内容。 [2]简明扼要地陈述吸尘器存在的问题,用To make it worse体现递进关系,将作者试图与销售处交涉未果后的失望心情展现了出来。 [3]提出解决方案。 [4]提供联系方式。
