Dear John,

I'm really angry about something that happened when I rang your office. Someone answered and then said she was the office assistant and would get the manager. But I was put on hold for a really, really long time.

And then after that when someone did answer they hung up on me. When I called back it was no better. The same girl answered and said "Yeah, What do you want?"

But that's not all. Then she went to get the manager again and put some really loud rock music on the phone. What kind of an office are you running?

What I really want is for that girl to apologise to me. And I want a written explanation from you, the manager, right now.

Yours sincerely,
