Answer 1
Dear Sir/Madam,...

I regret to inform you that I was unsatisfied with your service and the terrible meal my boyfriend and I were offered at your restaurant last week...

As it was my birthday, my boyfriend wanted to arrange a special meal for us. Your restaurant was recommended on the TripAdvisor website, so we were confident of a lovely evening...

I expect a full refund for the horrible meal served to me and my boyfriend. I trust this matter will receive your prompt attention, or I will be forced to report the matter to the local council...

Yours faithfully...

Maggie...
