 Dear Sir/Madam,

Letter of Complaint

After carefully examining the dresses supplied by your company in respect of your order of 15th of August, 2014, we are surprised and disappointed at the quality of materials used. They are not in any way in compliance with the sample received from your company some of the products as so bad to the extent that we unanimously agreed and concluded that we must have made an expressive mistake in placing the order.

The products are so bad to the extent they do not suit the needs of our customers and we have no choice but to ask you to take the whole of the products supplied and replace them with the quality requested or ordered. If this is not possible, then  I am afraid you will be asked to cancel the order and refund the mobilization fees.

 We have no intention to embarrass you and if you replace the products, we are prepared to allow the stated time for delivery to run the date you confirm that you can supply the materials needed.

 Yours faithfully,

 Adewoyin Ola
