A In pairs, answer these questions.
1 Have you ever bought something online?

Subject: Pure based music download problem Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a problem with the music downloads section of your online shop.
Yesterday, I purchased 11 MP3 music files from your online shop and paid 11.20 pounds for them using my father’s credit card. After I had finished giving all my information, the site directed me to a page with links where I was supposed to download the music that I had purchased. However, none of the links worked. As a result, I have been unable to download anything, even though you have charged my father’s credit card.
Could you please arrange for the MP3 files I purchased to become available to me as soon as possible, or arrange for me to receive a refund of 11.20 pounds, which is the amount I paid?
I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Yours faithfully.
Anne Lawson

An improved email:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a problem with some books I ordered from your website.
On 15th January I ordered eight books from your online store. Today, when they arrived, I noticed i only three of the books that I had ordered where in the box. Five of the books I had ordered were not in the box. In addition, there were three books i in the box I had not ordered (see below for a list of the books concerned).
Could you please arrange for the five books I have ordered which did not arrive to be sent to me as soon as possible, or arrange for me to receive a refund? Could you also let me know what I should do with the three books I did not order that were sent to me?
I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Your faithfully, I

5. Sample answer for Anne:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the reply I received to my previous email. I am very disappointed with the service I have received from your online shop.
As I explained before, I purchased 11 MP3 music files from your website and paid £11.20 using my father’s credit card. However, the download links did not work, so I was unable to download the music I had bought.
I would be grateful if you could either make the files available to me immediately or refund the full amount of £11.20. Please deal with this matter as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Anne Lawson
