【正确答案】[参考范文]
Dear Mrs. Taylor,
I am writing to complain about a training course for shorthand which I attended on March 15th.
When I booked this course, I chose your company as it came highly recommended and the courses seemed to be of a high standard. I was promised an experienced trainer but unfortunately he was sick and the replacement was not as good as expected. Regarding the information packs there were only a pile of loose photocopies, which was not the high-quality information packs as you promised. The class was supposed to be about 8 people but in mine there were about 15. Finally. I should make it clear that the class started one hour late, and the lunch that was served was extremely cold.
I am sure you can understand my disappointment. I would therefore be glad if you could investigate this matter.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Grace Swift
