Dear Sir/Madam,
I am one of your customers bearing the customer number: 546. I am writing this letter to complain about the food and the service during my anniversary that was held in your restaurant on November, 16th.
As you know, last week, I reserved the restaurant for my 8th anniversary and I invited about 50 persons. Unfortunately, not only the quality of the food was poor but also the service of the staff was unsatisfactory. The numbers of waiter and waitress were not sufficient for serving food and we had to wait a long time to get the service. In addition, some dishes (food) were stale & 3 persons of my relatives got sick from that stale & unhygienic food, immediately after returning home. These circumstances had caused enough troubles for me.
Bearing the above circumstances in mind, I would be grateful if you refund 50% of my payment. In addition, I would like to opine that being a restaurant manager; you should be more cautious about the service and quality of food your restaurant is providing to customers.
I am looking forward to receiving appropriate response from you.
Faithfully yours,

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am a student of your college transported in Chemical engineering last term. I am writing this letter to request a college accommodation as soon as possible since I have some problems with my current accommodation.
As you know, at the enrollment of new semester, I chose private accommodation and then I rent a suite in city center. After two weeks, I realized that there is not suitable for me and the distance between suite and college is too long. In spite of the fact that I wake up early morning, most of the time I cannot attend at class on time. In addition, there is not any public transportation and most of the time the minibus stops are very crowded and I must to wait more than half of an hour. In addition, due to daily transportation, my expense has been arisen significantly compared to the last term.
I would be grateful if you get me a room from college accommodation and thus resolve my problem. The college accommodation is nearby campus and I believe that not only is more economically but also its atmosphere is quiet and serene for studying. Moreover, I can access to internet and resources in the library.
I am looking forward to receiving you assistance. Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
