Elérkeztünk íráskészséggel foglalkozó sorozatunk újabb fejezetéhez. Ez a cikk rövidebb terjedelmő, hiszen az alapvető levélírási tudnivalók megegyeznek a korábban közölt motivációs levelekkel foglalkozó leckében közöltekkel. Ugyanakkor fontos megjegyezni, hogy a levél hangneme szigorúbb, mellőzi a rugalmasságot, hiszen valamit kifogásolunk, és szeretnénk kiharcolni a megfelelő jóvátételt.

A levél alapszituációja az, hogy rendeltünk egy hiper-szuper mikrohullámú sütőt, de kiszállításkor kellemetlen összeget kellett fizetni. A használata és a működése is hagy kívánni valót maga után, ezért úgy döntöttünk, írunk egy szép levelet a cégnek. Nézzük, mit érdemes írni az egyes bekezdésekbe. A vastagon kiemelt szavak és kifejezések hasznos, hatásos és pontvadász jelleggel bírnak, tanuljátok meg őket bátran!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you because I purchased your microwave oven advertised in the local magazine, however, I am not completely satisfied with it. / I am writing to you to complain about the microwave oven I purchased from you as I am totally dissatisfied with it.

First of all, let me tell you about the reasons why I bought your product. / Let me tell you what I expected from your product. Your ad said that the product would cost $60, which I thought was a very reasonable price. Your ad also stated that this device can be opened by using a virtual button, so I figured it is great that I would not spill the soup from the plate when I open this machine. Your commercial also mentioned / highlighted that this equipment will not "explode" our coffee any more due to its smart technology.

However, upon receiving your package, I was utterly / completely / totally shocked. First of all, I was asked to pay $76, which I had not been informed about in advance. Furthermore, the virtual button is also nowhere to be found, the microwave can only be opened by pushing its door. Finally, when I warmed my coffee for 20 seconds in the oven, it splashed around all its interior, and I had to clean it up, therefore I was late from my workplace.

As I said, I am absolutely angry and disappointed, because I feel I was deceived / ripped-off. I hoped that this unit would give me a more comfortable life, yet I have more difficulties than before buying it. Therefore, I am hereby demanding a microwave oven like the one in the advertisement. If you manage to fulfill my request, I would also like have the $16 difference, which I had to pay to the delivery person. In case you are unable to provide that device to my, I wish to be refunded the total sum I paid.

I regret to tell you that if my demands are not met shortly, I will be forced to start a legal action against your company. / I will be left with no other choice than to take this case to the court.

I hope you will consider my complaint, and we can put an end to this as soon as possible.

I am looking forward to your earliest response.

Yours faithfully,

József Minta
