There are several reasons for this. In the first place, the cabinet is grey in colour rather than cream as I ordered. Secondly, the lock doesn’t work. Thirdly, there is a large dent on the top, which was probably caused during delivery. I must ask you to replace the filing cabinet with one which is the correct colour and in perfect condition. I would be grateful if you would telephone me on 06845 721399 as soon as possible in order to make the necessary arrangements. Yours faithfully, Hazel Smith HAZEL SMITH (Ms) | Write your address (but not your name) on the separate lines in the top right-hand corner Write the date below your address.
