Dear Sir / Madam
I am writing to complain about a mobile phone I ordered from Top Моbile Magazine last month. I returned the phone two weeks ago, 1 and I am still waiting for a replacement. / and you still haven't given me a new one!
When I ordered the phone, I asked for a silver model. Despite this, I was sent a black one. However, I decided to use the phone to see if 2 it functioned correctly / it worked OK. Unfortunately, it didn't.
Your advertisement claimed that the phone could send text messages, but when I tried 3 to use this feature / to send a message to my best friend, it didn't work. In addition, there was no memory, so I was unable to save numbers.
When I 4 contacted / got in touch with customer services, they asked me to return the phone and promised to send a replacement. 5 That was two weeks ago / That was ages ago and I am still waiting for a new phone. Since then I have received a bill for the few calls I made, although the advertisement claimed that the first month would be free.
6 I would appreciate it / It would be great if you could send me either a replacement phone in the correct colour or a full refund as soon as possible. 7 I look forward to receiving your reply. / Please write back soon.
Yours faithfully
